    I like the 78E in the pictures section under custom. The white-black seat.

        Any decent local upholstery shop should be able to do work like that. Many shops specialize in automotive and motorcycle upholstery. Check with a Harley Cycle shop since they tend to be the most prominently customized bikes around and see who they would recommend.... either that or a shop that caters to low riders.

        Since the seat is stitched up from several pieces.... it would be no big deal at all to substitute a color other than black for any of them. My seat is in the shop right now getting a basic black recover and foam upgrade. I'm having the top done in a ribbed pattern. Manuel's Upholstery here in Pocatello, ID is doing the seat for $90.

          I'll take your advise and shop around at upholstery shops.
