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.

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.
