the birth of an idea

So... now we see what happens when a busy brained cheap bastard (me) suggest to a fellow bike enthusiast
that he should get a custom seat for his recently modified street machine. Just so happens to be, the fellow in question is a kindred soul,(hes a cheap bastard too)...
So what do you get with a slightly formed piece of steel for a seat pan, a 90"s era leather jacket and a YOGA pad.
Here we see a very high quality photo taken in not entirely perfect lighting with a 400 dollar phone that takes photos like a toddlers play camera,( not mentioning or bashing any brands here...G1)
Here we see the very close up view of the aft portion (the ass end) of this beautiful custom creation. as you can see its is fully equipped with full height adjustment mounting hardware(bolts & nuts). actually works great though.
So at the end of a couple of hours work and a few cheap beer (big flats, from wal-greens @ 2.99/six pack)we have a custom seat, comparable to any 300 dollar seat for about 40 bucks materials.
