Custom Leather Seat and Tooling 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I am seeking a vendor to recover my stock seat (Driver, Passenger, Sissybar Pad) in a tan leather with detailed hand tooling with "some" dying and color.

Any recommendations and opinions?

That will be a cool mod, but why do a stock seat? Gonna be a chunk of change into a uncomfortable seat.

Still going to bike week?

Maybe it's my odd shape or maybe it's that I haven't tried other seats. But I don't find it all that uncomfortable. (Too much padding? - lol) I've found a local guy that can do hand leather tooling & dye work for around $450 for all three. That seemed reasonable. I've also obtained (through the help of some members here) a complete set of extra tins that I'm painting. I like the look of Jamie99's bike and just may come up with "my" version.

I like the color and style.

I have the time scheduled off work to go to bike week. It all depends on the weather. Not sure if I would ride the whole way or trailer it down. In the next couple of weeks I should firm it up.

That's a thousand miles... 19 hours in the saddle each way. I've done it, but I wouldn't want to do it again. If you take the trailer, you can be the "Master of Tailgating" like in Beloit!

$450 sounds like a deal to me.

edit: I have a Mustang seat I can send you to try out, if you want.
