....that's what my dad taught me. And today I did, and couldn't be happier. Got a one-off custom seat (my inspiration was the old king/queen seat mixed with a drum set throne seat) and two custom fender bibs...all for $70. Wife's seat, backrest and custom lowers to match will b made Wednesday for $50. Everyone says it looks good and feels better than a $250 let pera. Feels a hell of a lot better than that stock crap that was on it!

On my phone so I hope this pics come out right!

I like the look, good for you. Nice touch on the matching stitching btw

 

You had that made locally? You should share the guys name that did the work. Sounds like a hell of a price.

 

Very nice - stiching really sets it off - need to "network" that talented local.

 

Absolutely,when the small guys are gone their will not be anybody to replace them.
And buy the looks of what you got and the price it makes you stop and think.

 

Looks good. Might as well let everyone know the name of who did this fine work.

 

Looks great!

It's awesome to find local/reasonable/under appreciated craftsmen.

I'm sure he could get some decent business from this forum!

 

nice job on the seat and fender bib. I like it!

 

His name is Chris Taylor. He works here in Fort Polk, La at a local shop called RJs Leather and Upholstery Shop. They do it all. Watches him make a set of saddlebags for $100. Guy is cheap, but the work isn't. He just loves what he does. He does not really advertise just word of mouth. If anyone would like to get a hold of him his business # is 337-353-1580. Thanks for ur opinions guys!

 

Just for done with my first 5+ hour ride on it. Man feels AWESOME!
