Ouch! Come on now. I thought my work looked a little better than his.

Here is another one that got sent to us. It is or was a Reach Seat for a softail that was done by some guy in Virginia that is supposed to be good with motorcycle seats. I asked the lady why didn't she take it back to him to repair and she said he went out of business....go figure.

Allen, just glad I left the job to you. One the ride to Sturgis 2009 to meet you. I was uncomfortable on my new ride after 200 miles. This past August I rode straight through to Sturgis---700 miles!

Looks like something I would do if I tried it

I do hope you guys make it out to Americade or Laconia this year. Would love to talk to you to see what you can do with my stock EG Classic seat!
