I looked at the JP site for a cover but all I saw was a kit, you couldn't buy just the cover.....Might have to bite the bullet and get the complete kit. Or try my hand at leather work like Whiteguy did, his leather covers looked awesome.

All I can say is that seat looks awesome on that bike... I have a Cross Bones and luv that seat. It is just so damn comfy. And by the way, the paint job is awesome as well.

I love the look too. I just put a sprung solo seat on my street bob and love it. I had test drove a crossbones and loved the seating position. I don't think I'll ever put the stock seat back on the bob again. I made my cover for my bob out of diamond plating.

I think it looks great on your bike!

And if I didn't I'd just keep my yap shut...I believe there's a rule written somewhere about that...

I used my dremel to cut the back side of the pan around the ECM bulge, I also cut the bolt hole completely off from the backside. I had to cut 1/4" around the front mount. I have to say it fits pretty good. I'm still going to make a leather cover like Whiteguy did but for now I can live with it............ At least it will stay dry.
