Just asken.... What was your pricing or ball park figure on a re-cover/diamond stitch/padding?
Blk your looking at any where from about $180 to $225 depending on what you want and the shops in your area. I went with leather opposed to going with vinyl, my sister owns a shop in El Paso, Tx so I was fortunate to get a small discount.

Dang, these seats look GREAT! Threads like this is exactly why this goofy Dyna guy spends so much time in the Softail section. So few of the Dyna guys do this cool kind of stuff.

Nice custom work. Mine is at the top of my post. Not a good pic, but have to wait until spring.

Thanks Lucky! YES it cost a fortune, The guy that made the seat is Alligatorbob.com . He does a lot off OCC bikes and some of Jesse James stuff, so I'm paying for some of his notoriety. There is a reason they have this guy do a lot of thier stuff, he's suppose to be the best.

I have to admit that the diamond stitching that these guys are showing is very stylish and classy! That is why there bikes are 1st class! That is where I'm headed with my Ultra, but with my lo I'm going for a modern day mad max kinda look.
