Default New Custom Stitched Seat
My new custom one-off stitched seat. By coincidence I was looking for an artist to create the design when I saw BigDaddyMikes post showing some pin stripping that Igor did for him. I reached out to Igor and asked if he could do a Tiki pin stripe design for me. He sent me a piece of sheet metal in the mail with the design on it that I then sent it to C&C Seats for a stitch job for a seat that I bought 2 months earlier (he was waiting on me to send him the design)... so after two months of finding someone to do the art and then mounted on the bike, here she is.





My girlfriend rides with me so I had to leave the seat bolt in place for when the passenger pad goes on. This is how I handled the bolt for when the pad is not installed.

This is a picture of the original, cropped and cleaned up in Photoshop before sending off to Chuck and Chuy at C&C Seats.

Igor sent me a nice piece of sheet metal measuring approx. 10x14 inches with the original Pinstripe art that he did for me so I would have something to hang on the wall.

Cool but I'd be scared of what that little guy'd do to me if I sat on him, he looks pissed!

Looks good, but what does it represent? Or is it just a cool design you wanted. Either way looks great!
