Default Whatdaya think?

I had the cover off of my backrest putting studs on it when I had a thought. My thought was to have some stiching done. So I called a few leather shops and found one that could stitch on pleather. Here's what they done for $25. I also had them to lengthen the lower backrest part. It was a bit short ever since I put George Anderson's relocator on. They charged me $18 to do that. Then I put the proper amount of good quality foam in it. I think it all looks pretty cool and with the double decker memory foam seat done by MCC, she's pretty comfy.

Cool! Are you a head shrinker? Or does it have another meaning?

That is very cool. I must admit I was afraid to click on the thread for fear it was more fringe!

I am NOT a head shrink. The machine is the Shrink. I go out for "sessions" with her and she makes me feel better.

dawg - want me to send you some fringe - c'mon, join the club.
