:) YIPEEEE......I just picked up, to-day, my "New" seat. I used the details.... drawing's/picture's, etc from "LUCKY's" site to have a replica made. However, where Lucky's is white, I had mine done in a black "Corbin" material with no piping around the edge for a smooth finish.....Looks Grrrrreat..... ;D :D ;)Thank's Lucky...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

That looks great!!!!

The only thing I worry about is how high the back is. Lucky how does the SO like yours.
My wife actually really likes the stock seat but I would like to make is a little more sportier looking.

Here you go tiger.

The seat & bike graphics look G-R-R-R-R-R-E-A-T!   :D  (couldn't resist)

I like the monochrome look with the two types of material.  Really goes well with that black & orange theme.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

I Love the seat Tiger. The Keychain looks great too! -Go Vols!-
Your bike has turned out absolutely beautiful. Great job!

Cracker, my wife doesn't ride (which is ok, the bike is my 'me' time). it's all foam under there, & i doubt it's much support, i think with regular use the foam might shift under the cover..  if you wanted to do that for a passanger, i think you'd have to build up the seat pan somehow first.  another option would be to have 2 seats & just swap seats....

8) Thanks guys.......I have to admit....I'm kinda proud of my Vision ::) ;D :D ;)
She has come a long way from the stock silver, naked "V" I bought last year. The seat cost me $150.00 (CDN), but I think it was well worth the money. However, the key chain really set's her apart ;D ;D ;D :D ;)...A present from DaveTN....Thanks Dave. Thanks C_K for posting the picture's....I'm not really computer savvy ::) ;D :-[

Tiger-

I can't remember, did you paint the bike yourself?
It's not about living, it's about living well. Enjoy each moment.
