I've learned a lot on this project, thanks to Pete's buddy, unfortunately most lessons learned the hard way. One mistake was the el-cheapo Ebay seat that I bought for $30. Of course, the cheap metal threads were the first thing to fail and I've had it rigged since mid-summer.
I've been keeping my eye out for a cool, thin-line seat that could take a custom leather insert and my searching paid off. I grabbed this seat real cheap off the Jockey Journal boord. It is a LaRosa "Hardass" seat. I'm confident in my 5" barrel springs....
I think this will fit the bike image well and I'll maybe get Blackbirds wife to do some custom leather insert on it (Trump logo, my Welsh Red Dragon?).
I'll mount it tonight, but this is just sitting on the existing POS seat:
