I knew Twolane would love this seat... It's gorgeous!

I bet it is a whole lot cooler on a hot day???

Very nice job of customizing an already customized ride.  :2vrolijk_21:

It would look even better on a red bike (and the red bike would be faster).

I'm also thinking that it would look great on a Copper & Black bike, which may just give a Red bike a "run for it's money"???

Gorgeous.  Share the details please?  What are the materials?  

A local guy recovered my stock seat and added gel pads front and rear, and as you can see, he did front and rear backrests, speaker pods, pad below the rear backrest and seat strap.  He also recently made matching bags for my 3 bag windshield bag (he removed the old bags and put the new bags on the same base).  He did a great job on all of it.  The material is actually some sort of vinyl or something of the sort.  It's very heavy duty and simulates alligator skin to the point that I've had a few ladies afraid to actually touch my seat.  The guy who did the seat recommended that I use this material as it was extremely durable and makes for a much more comfortable seat than using real alligator, and of course, less costly.

I just trailered down to St Augustine, FL last week and rode the bike down to Key West.  On the return ride, I went straight through from Key West to St Augustine with 2 "quick as I could fill the tank and get back on the bike" stops in TOTAL comfort.  He made this into the most comfortable seat I've ever been on.

Total price of $675 and I didn't think that was too bad at all for a good job.

Great price & looks like a great job.  What 'color' is the material called?  :-\ spyder

You'll know the term "monkey butt" very well if you're riding in triple digits on vinyl covered seat.  Leather breaths, vinyl doesn't. :nixweiss:  Being from the north, that might not affect you to much but would never work here in the west.  Vinyl covered seats are those that we're all trying to get away from.
