custom seat was created by donthaveakawman

so I found a Honda vtf1000 super hawk seat on sale, bought it and jimmy'd it on my bike. very comfortable I love it, it sits far back enough and it has the groove that keeps me from flying off the back. plus it leans forward.

I would like to find a good professional perferably close to redo my seat. Right now its verlure (how ever its spelled). I want to get another one made just about the same. i kinda like not having the seat pulling hairs or sticking to your leg.

The stock one had too much cushion, there is a fabric store nearby and I would like to get some of their firm foam.
I suppose a turkey knife would do the trick for shaping it.
there is nothing quite like going up a hill with the seat having no support on the back.

Hey Powerstroke...check with Oakview upholstery in Groinville! (And it's "velour" BTW! LOL!)

oakview in groinville only does the crotch rockets, the kz has the footpegs forward of the groin. >
The problem with the kz seat pan i have is the rusty seat hooks and tetnis.
