There are a couple of definitions for a Tiki but for here I'll consolidate.

A Tiki is an idol that Polynesians worshipped. They represented a god or a protector. I suppose in my case it's more of a protector and it's believed that Tiki's have a spirit of their own. Kind of like a guardian bell I suppose but in my case... it's Tiki.

With the seat... I have three on my bike. One hangs from the left side saddlebag where there should be an exhaust.

... one on the seat... and a decal on the windscreen.

You can see the one under the saddlebag in my video (shameful self promotion here):

Thanks for the comments everyone. Igor Custom Sign and Stripes and C&C Seats both did an amazing job and the results came out better than expected. I went back and forth for hours worrying that red stitching would not show up very well on the black leather. But again... I am very excited about the results and the fact that I have a one-off design.
