Thumbs up E-Glide Re-upholstered Seat/Backrest

I had Fat Elvis's (my '03 E-Glide Classic) seat and backrest re-upholstered this week. Per my request, they: added 1.5" height to the passenger portion (wife's happy) finished off in smooth and diamond tuck. All while retaining the same seams, including adding another around the sides seperating the smooth and diamond tuck. Pretty happy with how it came out.

Thanks.
She hasn't ridden on it yet, only sat on it. It looks like she would be sitting higher, but it's really no higher than the stock marshmallow seat. It's just that the driver portion is very low, as I have a 29" inseam.

...and another with the full bike in the shot. Not bad for being 13 years old.
