Default Cross bones Seat Option
So I finally got tired of the super fat and ugly thick stock seat. I decided to remove the super duper for fat asses only padding and replaced it with a manufactured thinner foam seat I had done at my local Upholstery shop. I installed it and here are some pictures. Keep in mind I'm using only the stock items and nothing else. Sure beats the 200+$ HD seat options for a different saddle seat. The new seat allows me to touch the ground a lot easier than the stock fat one and it looks a billion times better in my opinion.

I payed $80 to have it done. I can do without the stitching, but the stitching does look nice.
