You going to leave the stock seat padding? I had mine done with Gelfoam, not gel inserts. That stuff is awesome!!!

Good idea. But I don't have a stock seat. I'm re-covering my Danny grey seat. I think those guys you mentioned only make covers for stock HD seats.

Quite by accident I ended up with HD's 'custom' seat for my bike (the one with the flame stitching) and leather instead of vinyl (I thought the stock would be leather at that price when I bought the bike). The difference between the custom seat and the stock seat is incredible... and of course the custom seat retails for twice as much. I can ride the custom seat for hours without resting my butt.

If you are going to go the rehab route then I strongly recommend that you invest in better quality foam padding as well.

Hey Alain,

this bike is currently on eBay. I think it's the color you are going for.

I waved bye bye to the stock seat a long time ago.

VERY VERY close to the color Sarah maybe a little lighter. I'm trying to picture that color seat with the silver paint. I think it would work, no?
