+1 on the local upholsterer option.
If you are interested in how I got my stock seat modified to make a solo seat out of it, read my Custom Solo Seat Thread

I think I'm going to have to "steal" this design as well- with titanium gray stitching and maybe a charcoal Mercedes leather.

Ya I read his thread, just thinking my location and by the time I find someone and explain this and that and go over it all, someone who already has done it exactly would be easier to just say yes order 1 if that makes any sense.

BTW you can use a strip of 3M industrial velcro for the rear of seat hold down instead of suction cups. I use that on my dirt bike seats and that stuff does not move at all. but it's easy to pull up to take off.

just print out the pictures from the thread, bring to upholsterer with your stock seat. Say "i want that". Specify your material and gel foam. that's pretty much it. good upholsters LOVE pictures since they can work off of it.

Another option for customizing your seat is Mean City Cycles. He is a sponsor on this forum and has access to that thread. If you send him a link I'm sure he can hook you up.
