Thumbs up HD custom seats

How about posting your pics of the HD custom seats you picked for your ride!

I personally think that the moco puts some horrible ***-hurting seats on their bikes! I haven't ever seen a seat from the moco that made me think, oh i wanna go out and buy that seat. However, I have a nice C&C custom seat on my ride that's super comfortable and I like the way it looks, so here is a pic of it...

Not done by HD, not a fan, true custom is having it done by a leather worker not picked from a catolog.

I agree with what's been said. You can pick up the phone and call Chuck at C&C and get a seat that is:

more comfortable
better looking
cheaper

than the HD "custom" seats. And when you tell him what you want, YOURS will now be truly custom.

Just curious if anyone has any experience with Roberti Custom Seats? I really want to rebuild my HD seat (it kills my tailbone) and have it covered in white alligator skin. It would easy my troubled mind (it costs a lot) knowing that some of the forum members have used Roberti and are happy with the craftmanship and quality.

Default I agree with the hand made custom thought!

I appreciate the pic post thus far. I agree with the fact that truelly hand made custom is the way to go to make your ride your own. But finding a good custom designer is like find a mechanic. Word of mouth and seeing their goods is the only way to find the right service. I will be checking out c&c, for sure. The stock solo on my FB Lo is comfortable, but not the look i finally want on my ride. Keep the pics coming!
