Need advice: SEATS on eBay 1 Month, 1 Week ago  
Has anyone bought those seats from "Choppahead" (dealer) on eBay... They're $114 for the vinyl and $134 for the leather version. The look like Looney seats. I'm just curious if they push you forward a lot, and/or are comfortable (soft or firm).

Drumdon, where'd you get that paint and those mirrors? I don't think either were stock were they? I have a friend w/ a vstar with ghost flames from the factory and I love it.

That paint scheme came stock on the '07 (non-silverado and non-"S" style). As far as the mirrors, they're 'Biker's Choice Maxi-Teardrop mirrors'... I got 'em from PhatPerformanceParts.com . You can also get them from CruiserCustomizing.com . Click here: Bikers Choice Maxi-Teardrop Mirrors

I'm thinking of just buying one and trying it out... I mean $114 is ridiculously cheap for a seat.. eh?

I have one of the vinyl seats. It's ok I had to tweak the brackets a little to get it to fit right though.
It sits you down low into the bike and the seat is firm.
This seat imo is a good seat for short rides but I don't think I would like it on A long ride.

I wonder if the Guy that said,... "You get, what you pay for..."

...was referring to seats on E-Bay.

"tweak" meaning bend or re-drill or what do you mean?
