Seat ideas?

[rockinjer]

Hi i was just messing around with gimp (free photo editor) and thought it might be cool to mess around with the seat on the vision, i recenlty got a Full 82 parts bike with a stock fairing and 83 RISERS SCORE!!! and almost perfect chrome mufflers, that my uncle picked up for me. anyways it has a seat that is trashed and i was thinking about putting more foam in the rear of it and making it appear more sporty now that i have 2 visions and 2 of everything i can modify anything i want.

Have any of my vision bro's done a seat like this?

(This pic is not my bike but one that i edited the seat and color)

Congrats on your your bike. I've not done anything like that, but the thought came looking at your mock up. If this is a no passenger design, what about a solo seat and then create a fiberglass cowl for the remainder of seat area that lifted or hinged up for storage perhaps? If you opt for stock there are usually a few on ebay. Rich

Matching the color of the seat cover or a fiberglass cowling to the bike would look real good, I think that seat looks as good or better than any seat I've seen. Build it.   BDC

Not a seat comment but someone was looking for clean stock mufflers in the Swap section if you're interested in selling or barter?

:) I used this diagram for the seat on 'The Mistress' several years ago.

I took all the info' & my stock seat in to a shop and said 'here is what I want'...the guy was impressed with the info'. A week or so later and VOILA!! The guy used Corbin material on the bum sections and regular grain material for the rest...all in Black...It looks really sharp. I get quite a few comments on it... 8)

I need to have mine (which was the genesis of Lucky's drawings) recovered.  It is now 21 years old...

Unfortunately Corbin doesn't answer my emails...

try Sargent Seats Custom Seat Services... http://www.sargentcycle.com/custserv.htm

I've been toying around with the idea of sending mine to them to recover and add some ATOMIC FOAM  :o
