Homemade solo seat

I purchased a second stock seat and modded it to fit as a solo. I used a drimmel for all the cutting. I dug out the seat to move the sitting position down and back. I then filled it with silicone, covered it will cellophane, and smoothed it out with my hands. I then put the seat on the bike and sat on it to take a mold of my butt. Talk about custom fit.

I hope to get the cover back on sometime this week. I will probably glue the cover down; otherwise it won't be a perfect fit since I lowered and moved the seating position back.

That's going to be nice! Do you plan on going with a black cover? I would almost look into the color of your streaks on the bike.

For now I just plan to cover it with the cover I took off the seat. I do have plans to have a cover made using maroon and white sting ray skins. It's a bit pricey so it may be awhile. Something like this:

Wow! I don't care how unique it is, I will never pay $1200 for seat. This guy must charge $400/hr. Does he think he's a lawyer or something? You can buy an entire leather living room set for that!

I spoke to Mr. Alligator Bob and the seat was gonna cost between 800-1200. Just depends on the factors.
