Ok, I just finished carving my first Motorcycle seat for the owner of a cycle shop nearby. He has an "Old School" chopper that's Black with Copper colored flames. So, I took his business logo, and the FLAMES idea and ran with it ... I used an "Ultima" seat pan. The foam on the seat was not very condusive for long rides, so I modified it!

I used an exercise mat from Wal-Mart ($5.86) to do the padding and WOAH! What a difference... Here's what I have so far... I have to stitch it together yet, but I'll post those pictures once I'm finished...

Tell me what ya think??

Looks good. Now comes the fun part, putting it together. I see I'm not the only connoisseur of cheap,uh, inexpensive padding.

HA HA HA !!

It's cheap and it's STILL better than the stuff that came on it!

Here's a couple pics of the stained seat...

Troy,

That seat is looking sweet.  I especially like the detail you got on the spokes.  Like the color you finished it with. Waiting to see more. :thumbsup:
