Mancha,Its gonna look great.If a stock seat will still fit,maybe try to get a K&Q.The front nose area is quite a bit wider than the Thrux seat,to better match the wide tank tail.It also drapes down over the rails more to continue the tank lines back. You would have to shave the foam down on the sides, as the bucket seat is quite wide,and I`m guessing your after a narrower look.Then sculpt the rear portion of the seat to any shape you find pleasing.If you change your mind,just glue the foam [any foam]back on and try another shape. Then make a fiberglass cowl for the tail section,remove the foam,flushmount your new tailight into the cowl with quick disconnect plug,and get a nice leather upholstery job on the seat.The K&Q is thicker than the Thrux but softer,so your knees won`t be so bent and the ride will be nicer.
