That is Frig'n awesome. How much did the trimmer cost? Looks like he done a good job.

Cool! What about comfort?

The colors don't work for me but I actually like the shape. When you first posted I didn't think I was going to like it and was thinking you ruined a perfectly good seat! Turned out great and I like the design but my personal preference would have been all black.

Brett, could you take some really close up shots and post those. I think I'm going to try and do that exact same thing to my seat. LOVE the look... outstanding job!

Don, If you go to my Picassa album the pics on there blow up pretty good. Let me know if you want some specific angles and I will accommodate you Bro. I might try to get some photo's in the sunlight. The flash shots show the seat a little on the pink side when It's really a nice light tan colour. I'm not sure if I like the tan colour with the silver flashes on the tank' I think they clash just a little. I may sell this seat for what it owes me and do another in grey and black. then again maybe it will grow on me.

Your right mate. Looks no good on your bike. Being the top bloke that I am, I am willing to help you out if I can! How much does it owe you?  Seriously, it looks good on your bike. I just want it!

i also think that it is pretty pimp. i also am wondering how much it was out of pocket. my poor bum gets sore after just 2 hours on the bike, so i'm researching alternatives now...
there are 10 kinds of people in the world. those that understand binary, and those that don't.

a big  to you Brett despite the choice of colours  thats 1 very good looking seat 1 thing i do like is the way the lower front hangs lower then the factory seat helps towards hiding the frame rails when i get around to doin something to mine thats a idea of your i'll be adopting

Saw the bigger pics (helps when you use the slideshow feature). I'm still amazed at how fantastic this seat looks. This is THE BEST looking seat mod for our bikes I have ever seen (my humble opinion). If you were to do up several in say all black I would buy one in a second.

You dudes are way too kind, but thanks for all the positive comments. I just sit for hours and hours in my shed, drinking beer and listening to the Rolling Stones or any other blues band, but usually the Stones, thinking about all the ways I can modify this bike. Sometimes there is too much beer and I forget some sensational ideas I have for it but at least the seat came through just as I planned. So I have one more stock seat left. I might make a fibreglass mould of it and start making a few more of these little beauties. Who wants one?
