Everyone that has a custom saddle post your pics of it here. I'm trying to start a thread that folks can search on to see all the good custom seat ideas (which I am looking for myself).

I sent my seat out to Spencers MotoSeat to have it modified and now I am going to get some Kangaroo leather from the land down under and get it recovered. I am buying both brown and black leather and I will make my decision from there. Right now I am leaning toward brown on my Cardinal Red America. I will post pictures when completed.

Thanks, Joe Gulla at Nu-Upholestry from Revere, MA did the work. The quality is top notch. I met him at the Boston motorcycle show.

That cut down stock solo is awesome! Wish I could buy one just like it in all black (without the inlay).

That's a tough looking Speedy!
Black out those forks (and pull those reflectors),and she'd look sinister!

Steve,
That is a very handsome bike.

Well now you've gone and done it! I don't like whitewalls or blacked-out scoots. Until now. WTF dija do, Steve? I don't think I've ever seen an example of those two effects that worked so well. I'm sure it wasn't cheap to do, but you got your money's worth. That's one very fine lookin' machine!
