Default custom seat recommendation

Can anyone recommend someone to do a custom seat. Quality and not terribly overpriced would be great.

Thanks for the help!

I just got a custom gator skin two up seat from Sick Saddles to replace the stock seat for my 72. It is not quite as "full" as I expected it to be in terms of thickness but it is definitely significantly more comfortable than the stock seat. It is a little deeper and wider as well which is a big plus for taller guys, as a common complaint on the 72 is that you slide out of the stock seat when you take off.

My only complaint was the wait to have it made. They are hand made, one at a time and I think his business is really starting to pick up. He told me he was about three weeks behind, but it actually took just a little over eight weeks to get my seat. He had warned me he was behind and responds to emails within 24 hours and answers the phone himself so it wasnt entirely out of left field which helped ease my concerns (not to mention i wasnt really in a rush to begin with).

Huge advantage though- the prices really cannot be beaten. Way cheaper than the other seats I was shopping around for.
