well i like the style of the single seat with the hump on the back. I also like the thin "rocker style" seat that has kind of a ribbed pattern. Ill try to get some pics up.

I bought this Hellboy seat off ebay and they ship internationally and usually have several styles available. The ebay sellers ID is zurucucu  |

hey i was looking at that same hellboy seat. Thats kind of what im leaning towards. The only minor thing i wasn't crazy about was that it didn't butt right up to the gas tank. Looks great otherwise. I may be going that route. How do you like it? Is it comfortable?

Nate,
The seat is pretty good quality and really looks sweet on the bike. I honestly can't tell you too much about the ride because my bike is half stripped down right now but just sitting on it, it seems just fine. I wasn't real sure about the front not sitting flat either however I reversed the rubber mounting stops around on the frame and it sits pretty close to the frame now. You could even make some kind of bracket to hold it down to the frame if you wanted. Seats are pretty expensive wherever you get one. I won it off ebay for around $110 I think but shipping was around $40-$50 to the USA but I think its cheaper to Australia and other places.

Oh and the gap between the tank and seat is not really that noticeable either once the seat is mounted flush to the frame.  |

Hey thanks so much for the good info strangling67. I really appreciate it. I think im going to try to get that seat. That's certainly the best price i have seen. You're right..seats are just expensive anywhere you look. I would love to see your project when it is finished. I plan to post some pics when I'm finished with mine. Thanks again.
