steveb Report post Posted December 18, 2007 wow - that is one brutal seat - you really have a different take on design, I will give you that... makes me think though - and for that reason alone - I like it! I bet that stitching will prove to be your undoing though - doesnt look to comfy for a long day...i can only imagine the bike it is going on...post a pic of it, wiullya cool - i look forward to seeing more of your work! steveb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks Steveb, Yeah, I don't go with a traditional look. I stay away from a new look. I like my work to look worn even if it's new. Thanks for the comment. I like the pieces on your site too. Very clean. Here is my baby this is going on. Oh, I made the bag too.... :deadhorse: The_Beast.pdf The_Beast.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaverslayer Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Hey Spider, welcome to the forum. That seat sure is an original, I actually like the look you went for, and you have nailed it. The bike should look real good with that seat on it. Thanks for sharing the pics, and hope to see more in the future. ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spider Report post Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks Beaverslayer. I'm glad I found you guys too. Hey Don, That is my new seat for my bike. Look above and you will see a pic of her with the stock seat. It's a PDF file so you might have to refresh the page if it doesn't open. That's what I do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo Report post Posted December 19, 2007 ...ya know.....if Fred Flintstone was a biker, he'd really dig that. I like it, dare to be different!! Making a bike yer own is what it's all about anyway. Man, I love semi-flat black paint on anything!!! Its easy to touch up too. Keep it up!! Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
