RE: For those with a fat tire kit....

Since you've reworked the fender to fit your frame, you may have a problem getting an off the shelf seat to fit and look right.
I will be using a Corbin solo, but the pan has to be modified to fit the fender right.
I'm using a local custom seat guy that does any kind of leather, I'm considering croc. or ostrich.

Chops,
I only reworked the width of the fender. I'm hoping that the curvature part is the same as a normal fender.
Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Thanks,

You're not that far from one of the better seat makers in the country. High Rollers up in Winston Salem can help you out.

I had my seat made. Doesn't cost too much. You will probably be better off getting it made from scratch. Check out the custom upholstery shops in your area.

That is exactly what I'm looking for. The rear fender looks the same and my new tank will also be like yours.
I do believe you guys are right... a custom seat is the only way to go.
Thank you so much, you have made it blatantly clear what I'm looking for.
PERFECT.

RR,
Did you buy an extension kit for your tank and weld it on, have someone else do it, or did you buy a stretched tank already done? If you bought it already done where did you get it? Thanks.

I opted for the one piece tank. I could have welded, grind the weld and finish the tank but in my experience, many times even though we weld and grind shaved door handles, many times in heat, the paint will dye back and you'll see an edge where the metal joined. (besides, it was only 40 bucks more than if I had to weld and clean it up... for 40 bucks, I'll see how good of a job they did)

The tank was ordered in one piece. It still had to be smoothed out where the extensions where added. If you can find a good welder, I'd say just buy the extensions and save some money.
