werase- do you have any pics of that bieng done?

[Topher84]

Ya i realized you could do the vinyl....But im going for the SOLO seat look....Plus the vinyl just doesn't shine up as well   thank's though

[werase643]

werase- do you have any pics of that bieng done?

no,
If I want the solo tail look i'll install my Dgyver CARBON FIBER solo tail....


just go to an upolstery shop and ask to get your seat recovered.....any stitching across the top will almost garantee water leakage into the seat foam
but if you want the look....experiment....it's only money, you will make more, what is the worst that could happen....you dont like it and you have the stock seat cover reinstalled?

should only cost 50-100 bucks....

[mach1]

[anthonyd5189]

Here's the solo seat look while still being a full seat.

[mach1]

looks a bit cheesy to me. IMHO

[werase643]

if you want the look...you'd do vinyl....
you made a solo seat....be proud
what are you going to charge for copies?
the masses will ask soon enuff

remember you are dealing with cheap a$$es
that will give many excuses why they won't buy it.

I'm cheap, but I drop money on my bike. The one reason I went with the cowl for my bike instead of a nice race tail from one of you gurus is the possibility that I may need to take someone 2up...

I cut my Buddha Loves You pegs off........

See.. I really, really, really want to do that, to streamline the rear of the bike, and to possibly allow for a highmount exhaust someday (Except that I lack the fabrication skills that you have)... But I've already been in 2 situations where I needed to carry someone 2up, since they had no other ride... Also, it's nice to be able to offer females a ride, if they want one, when they're sober, and have gear. If/when I upgrade, I'll probably chop the pegs on the GS.. I intend to keep it until it falls apart.

i agree .. i prefer the clip on seat cover . i'd much rather it have a bit  high over the seat ( kinda like the GSXR ) that way you can stick stuff in there   always a need for a good lookng trunk

lmao... I've had several girls ask for rides, but until recently, the bike hasn't been safe enough for me to risk another person's life (leaky/blown fork, chain about to fall off). Now that I have new front suspension, and a new chain/sprocket, I can give them those rides. However, I don't think a helmet is enough gear for a pillion. I have a spare jacket/gloves/helmet, so I make them wear them all, along with their thickest blue jeans and good sturdy boots (not stripper boots.. even though they're hot).. I guess I'm a geek, but whatever... my bike, my rules..

Ditto, I have a few "friends" taht are chicks and they own their own protecton (helmet/boots/gloves/jacket) now even though they dont own a bike, something about me preaching and imposing.. no armor, you can watch me ride around, but you can't ride with me.

works I guess.... lol
