That seat is BADA$$. I like the black eyelets. If I rode solo enough to justify buying a solo seat i'd be asking for a price. sweet.

Put down the beer BEFORE you take the picture, J/K. Anyway, the seat looks cool. I am undecided on the black or chrome. The black may go better with the train.

I kinda freaked when I saw the title of the thread, cause I love Badlander seats, and was expecting to see a hatchet job...not really my style, but I have to say, you did a good job and shouldn't have any problem selling one or the other...I prefer the black eyelets myself.

Looks good - I prefer the chrome eyelets. Makes it POP a bit more.
