Last year I replaced the stock seat with a new Saddlman seat.the Sock was in good condition as far as the cover but the foam was pretty well shot and on long trips it was uncomfortable.
While the saddleman seat was more comfortable than the old seat I was never happy with the looks. Plus the saddleman seat interfered with the operation of the trunk. So I decided to have the local shop redo the foam in the old seat and make a new cover. I asked for some red stitching and boy did I get some. At first I was a little overwhelmed by how much there was but after looking at it on the bike I really like it, now for the butt test .

Re: New seat
Norm did a great job on the design and it does really match the overall look and style of the bike. Very slick and stylish work you have done on that bike with the modifications.
