Default seat reshape and recover

Here ya go, I got bored and was wanting a new seat but no money figure that. Yeah I found a web site that shows you everything you need to do. http://www.diymotorcycleseat.com Here's pics of what I came up with. The color I know doesn't go with the bike right now. The Bike is going Bahama blue with green variegated leaf flames. I think it will match that a little better if not there's always die. OK back to the project I used my stock seat, a electric turkey knife, and a lazyboy recliner that the seat was destroyed (found on the side of the road during bulk pick up). I used the the back of the recliner it was still good.

Well, I haven't put may miles on it yet just around town. But it was more comfortable than before to me because it moved me back some and I'm 6'3 so every little bit helps.
