Can't tell u how many times I have pulled the seat off of my Train and contemplated on how I could turn it into something that resembles a LaPera bare bones seat...just can't bring myself to tear the leather off of the darn thing! Anyone custom modded their stock saddle in the direction I'm trying to go? Could use some help before I get antsy and ruin my seat!

Reason: been there now.
I would think it would be a PIA to get that back mounting tab where it belongs and make it secure just my . But keep us posted with pics if you decide to dig in.
You know bro its actually kinda nice to have both the stock type Train seat and the optional Le Pera torture device.
That way a guy can swap back and forth dependent on where he going and who he is going with.
I think I gave $150.00 for my essentially new Le Pera on Flizzle Bhey.
I will say since removing the Badlander and putting the much maligned, very evil, punishing and painful Le Pera on my bike?
I think its been off once maybe?
Buy a real one Bro. They are that good, Errrr Bad?
If I had an extra $150 laying around, I prolly wouldn't have posted this. LMAO But yeah, I see what u mean...plus it's the whole DIY thing, for pride and bragging and such.

you can cut down a badlander the rear tab marks are on the seat pan already look for the two dimples about six to eight inches from the rear measure the distance from your exsisting tab mount to the rear edge of your seat pan and cut the seat pan at the same distance from new tab mount then start carving foam
