hey guys , anyone know where i can get a custom seat that'll lower my ass ?
sorry , i dont know how else to put it . Ive only been able to find a couple out there on the net .
and if i have to modify it myself , im wondering , does the pan have to come up that high , or can i smash it down a bit?

how do you like my custom seat? if you want a little padding , fold up a couple grease rags.

I put 11" shocks on mine, now I'm flatfooted on the ground and no longer mash my eggs when trying to back 'er into the barn.

I cant show you pics of mine because it isnt done yet. But, what I have done is strip the pan down and draw with a magic marker the shape I wanted. I then cut the pan to that shape with a die grinder. I had an old beat up bates style seat laying around that I also stripped down to the pan and cut to the shape I want for a pillion pad. On the drivers seat I ended up cutting one of the hinges off but kept the other on as well as kept the helmet/seat lock in tact. When Ive got the dough to get them upholstered Im certain its gonna really look good and function well.
