What can I do with this seat?
I dig the bare metal look...riding bare metal? Not as much ;)
I could have my buddy do some cool striping on top of the metal...and have another seat ready for when I need to ride anywhere distant. Or I could try and redo the leather on this one and have a great seat for all occasions...
I've never recovered a seat before...how hard could it be ;)

The easy solution would be slap on a lace-up gel cushion, when it comes time to actually go riding. That way, you get both the bare metal look you want, and save your butt in the process.

I recovered a couple of saddles with leather scraps and was proud of the results. I'm no master, like Black Monark, though.
