or you could build your own seat base and get it foamed and covered to suit yourself, i did just that as i needed a tiny little gunfighter seat for the honda chop thing i built

the other choice is, if you have a local shop that does harleys and choppers, they usually will know an upolsterer you can do one up for you

A buddy sculpted my seat out of the old king/queen that was on it when I got it--which was pretty ratty--tears & what not. Another friend sewed the cover for me, using bits of the old tatered cover as a pattern. You might be able to do the same. Just find an old K/Q with a solid pan to use as a donor.
