Good afternoon, I need some help or opinions rather.. I would like to give my bike a more aggressive look in the sense of uniqueness. Now my plan of attach is to modify the seat. I got the weekender seat back when they were $699. It’s perfect comfort for my wife and I. Problem is that it lacks style. So I guess the question is do you think it would looks cool if I get all 3 pieces. The back rest / pillion / seat done with matching diamond pattern that I have on the lower parts of my SW Motec bags. See pictures. I also thought of just getting the parts that touch you in the pattern and the rest just leather.

I think the "part that just touches you" would nicely match your bags and look awesome.

That said, I would certainly consider any advice from the shop doing the upholstery work as to design options and/or padding while they're in there.

Look forward to seeing your final outcome, good luck!
 
Thanks Bob, the shop doing it is a place I use for my customers custom work all the time.. Im praying for quality!
