Cant take credit for it. I did the fiberglass base and poured/carved  the foam but the upholstery was from my better half. The first attempt looked fantastic but was a bit loose.This was her 2nd attempt.

I like the race (H2R) tail too.
I think they suit bikes with fairings better.
Similar to the seat/tail on Goose's bike in Mad Max.
I've thought of getting the H2R tail in the past.

Race seat.

Trim it to lose the snaps. Everything grey. Jim Goose style. Killer.

So I picked up this NOS Z1 Giuliari seat from France. I just need to use some upholstery glue on some of the seat pan edges to tighten things up.

Interestingly enough, the "hump" is actually fiberglass. You can see where they cut off the back of the stock pan and grafted the hump on. Neat.

I will probably get another set of sidecovers that I can leave the 900 badge off of, so as to not have logo-overload.
