Put a little contrast in the seat.

Maybe the cross stitched in like the One on your air cleaner cover would look good.?.? Just a thought

If you are asking for opinions then I dont think contrast diamond stitch is right for your bike with the emblems, covers and look you have going. Its all a matter of personal taste though but if you are dead set on it then I would think black matte vinyl with black diamond stitch and no piping. I think a contrast stitch on the seat is going to take the eye off the other styling elements you have...it will disrupt the flow of the bike.

Nice looking bike

just my $.02

Motown you make a very good point. The derby cover I love but the aircleaner cover was just a grab. There are going to be changes down the line I am sure, ie. pipes are about to be the D&D fatcat etc. so I guess we shall see where she is at right before it's seat time but I am tending to be leaning towards the no diamond stitch and a matching silver/gray piping.


Also- those of you with the bare bones.. Did you notice a significant height and distance away from the bars difference between it and the stock seat

Yeah, the Bare Bones moved me down a good 1 1/2" and back a good 2". But that is compared to a stock Deluxe seat.
