Doesn't seem to tally with the above statement.
"BURKBUILDS" built his own seat,the upholsterer only covered it.I think "EASY" is under the impression that the upholsterer also built the seat.

No, this is getting off course.
I SAID that I have a stock seat to work with.
I don't understand his last comment either.......because the upholsterer worked an Burk's seat.
Maybe that was a one time, favor for a buddy type deal.

:??:

Re: Making a custom seat for my Vulcan 500

My misunderstanding. I thought you were referring to me as the "seat guy" instead of my upholsterer. Brothers Upholstery in Rossville, Georgia.

Re: Making a custom seat for my Vulcan 500

I'll be home in the big city of Rossville, Georgia for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to a few days without classes or work. I plan to spend a lot of time with my family. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving next week.

I did see(many years ago)a Suzuki GT 750 with a horse saddle on it. Looked pretty comfy with a sheep skin on it.

I am thinking of going with the Native American kind of "theme" for my bike...and have been toying with the idea of making the seat look somewhat saddle-ish...upholstery wise.. not the entire way around lol. I do have a barrel racer saddle...but it might be a wee bit big for the baby. :retard: But I will most definitely be taking cues from it...such as the quilted stitching in the seat...gorgeous stuff and why I bought the saddle in the first place (all for decoration only...and the dream of one day owning a horse...now I've got my horse...an iron one ROFL)

Re: Making a custom seat for my Vulcan 500

My Vstrom is a mule for me. It seems to be able to haul lots of stuff and not complain. My 3rd saddle is a Corbin and really does it's job well.
