Alain, yea take and drop your stock seat pan and let them take it from there. I had to drive about an hour to get to the guy that did mine. It was worth it, I would have even driven a little longer too. I just had no interest to buy anything that is out there. I had to go with comfort 1st though, looks 2nd. I was just having to much tailbone pain. That's not to say there are no nice seats out there, it just didn't look like any for me for what I wanted. I also didn't want to get into that shipping back and forth too that I have seen guys have to do. Just start Goggling it and branching out further from your home until you get to a point that it's to far for you to drive. I would maybe check too to see if they have "gelfoam" or pad depending on what you want there too. I'm sure that whatever is out there a good shop can get it or already has it and can work with it. I have the "Gelfoam". Good luck Dude.

I want to somehow incorporate the color blue on the seat so that it matches the pacific blue pearl color on my rocker bilirubin worried the blue on the material won't be a close match. Anyone have any suggestions or seen any seats with colors other than white ?

For what it's worth, I had croc on my rocker...
