Default Custom Rocker Seat
I did not want to buy the solo seat because I like the trick seat for my passenger so I had my stock seat redone. I am only 5'6" so I wanted to be closer so he added padding and built up the back so it moved me 2" closer. It is soooo much more comfy now and I feel like I am sitting in the seat instead of on it. I had it done by Mark Thrasher (www.thrasherseats.com) and he gave me a pretty good price.

dawg, the seat looks great, infact the whole bike looks awesome.

2 complaints about mine is the seat and the horn. i would like to sit in the bike instead of on the bike, and when i did blow the one time only i felt like i was on a moped from the early 80's
