I was thinking of buying one of those gel pads. The seat cover just has snamps holding it on, so I can put one under it.FirstYearDeek wrote:That's a shame, it's really a good looking seat!

I agree that the DarkWing seat does look awesome... and they really aren't too expensive compared to other seats.

Pin up girl
I vote for the Pin up girl. I tried to paint a girl on a bike once, but she would't stay still long enough for the clear coat to set up right.

Re: Pin up girl
I'm still thinking of a pin up but the bike has been a real beast. So I might go with this a Beast that is 3" tall over the Honda emblem.Larrycole wrote:I vote for the Pin up girl. I tried to paint a girl on a bike once, but she would't stay still long enough for the clear coat to set up right.
