Has anyone done this? I'd like to get one of the low rider solo seats but the cost of admission is keeping me out. I thought maybe the america seat pan could be used as a base on a custom jobby...

I cant remember who, but it's been done by someone on here before. I think he sorta shaved the sides a bit more than so it didnt hang over the rear shocks.

I've done that, Tom.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That looks pretty nice there, Jerry!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
