I've had my eye on the solo seat for awhile now. I wanted it because the rear rack. It'll be super useful for camping and road trips this summer. After months of monitoring craigslist. I found one for a great deal. I specifically wanted a used one so I can reupholster it. I don't know much about upholstery but figured, this is my chance to learn. Don't be fooled by the video. I failed twice. The third try was truly a charm. Also, I cleaned up the tail end by removing the stock fender, and added the sleek slimline led taillights by Motobox.

I've had my eye on the Scrambler Solo Seat for awhile now. I wanted it for the rear rack so I can motorcycle camp this summer. After months of monitoring craigslist I finally found a great deal. I wanted a used seat so I could learn to reupholster it. I don't know much about upholstery but figured I'm up for the challenge. The thought of having a custom motorcycle seat seems rad. It'll definitely set my bike apart, and make the value go up right...? (joke about the latter)

It was a difficult decision because I was torn between making the seat black pleats or burgundy pleats. I've always been a fan of the blacked out look, but I'm glad I went with the burgundy (some call it oxblood.) I'm quite happy with the new seat and grip combo. What are your thoughts?

Don't be fooled by the video. I failed twice. This was the third try. Here is my first attempt:

Excuse the blurry ending. A ghost moved my focal point. Finally got around to taking apart the Solo seat I scored off craigslist. Here is my first attempt at reupholstering the Bonneville seat. It ended up pretty good. Downside is the pleated pattern is slightly angled. I'm planning to make a second one sometime this week.

Anyway. enjoy the video and photos of the new look.

PS. I got rid of the hideous stock rear fender. Replaced it with the Motobox Slimline. I think it makes the tail-end so SICK! Get yours here.
