Default New seat, PICS!
My friend re-did my seat this weekend. He is an upholsterer, and used to do custom bike seats on the side for bike shops. He re-shaped the whole seat. Made it thicker on the sides, wider for my big ***, and shorter and more snub nose up front. Looks like an old school saddle seat. I love it! Haven't gotten a chance to go for a ride on it yet, as I just got it back today. Just sitting on it while parked though, is 1,000 times better

Here are some pics of the completed seat. I'll try and get some pics of it in better light.

Looks like a quality job and I like the dark brown color also.

Thanks all. My friend really came through on this one, I'm super happy with how it came out. Wasn't sure how the brown was going to work with the bike, but I think it looks killer.

I can't wait to jump in the seat and put some miles on it. ****, the stock seat started hurting after only 40 miles, so anything is better than that.
