Thanks Jay, that's kind of you....

As for ball park figure, it depends on a number of factors from how much seat reshaping you are doing, if you are recovering the pillion as well and whether you are going with leather or vinyl. (not to mention pleating details) but in general you are talking about $350 to $450 for a project like this. I paid another $50 for another seat and pillion (I got a good deal) so that I could always go back stock if I wanted.... For me it was well worth it. A corbin is around that price point as well, but there is always a chance of running into a tbird with another corbin... I'm pretty safe from running into another bird that looks like mine... and that is the point for me.

I've just had my stock seat reshaped and recovered for $240 and after a break in period it can be tweeked for no extra cost if needs be. Can't really comment yet on any improvement for my tail bone as I need to go for at least a 150 km ride, weather has been crap!!
