Talking custom pillion pads?

So the shovelhead is out of the picture now, guy sold it, however I did just sign papers for a 2005 Sportster 1200C at our local HD dealer for a fantastic price. So does anyone know of anyone that custom makes pillion pads? I'm putting the HD Brawler seat put on sportster, and didn't realize when I ordered it that it says in fine print that it doesn't work with any pillion pads. I thought to myself maybe none currently, but I am sure I could find someone that custom makes them. Anyone know of anyone?

Thanks in advance

Try a suction cup pad. Lick and stick. I've read mixed reviews on them, never tried one on mine though. Probably wouldn't be the best for any good distance but I'd imagine much less expensive than a custom job.
