The factory is what made the Bike custom, No need to change it. Unless its been wrecked.Buy a Harley and cut it up. .:dry:

here is a pic of my seat. i cut the seat pan down to make it 'hug' the rear fender. i also cut the seat foam down to get the look i wanted. with the seat foam take your time with small cuts...you can always cut more off if needed! then use 36-80 grit sandpaper to smooth it out. let me know if you need different pics
