Default Yet another seat question

ya, this is probably a really stupid question, but who or where could I get my stock seat shaved? It kills my right leg on long rides. I just have no clue as to where to take it

If you can, hook up with XL OCD over on the Sportster forum. He was telling a while back how he shaved his own seat on his sportster. If I remember correctly he was saying he was 5'3" and had a problem. Maybe he can help you out.

As I recall, he had photos of his finished product and I have to admit it looked damn good.

Go to your dealer and ask the guys behind the counter to recommend a good upholsterer.

Cheers!
