I'm desperate! Yesterday I was out and about in Honolulu and I saw a guy riding a highly customized Bonneville. Some things I liked, but some not so much...like the Hello Kitty sticker he had on his fairing windshield.

Anyway...he had the greatest seat on this thing. I've never seen one like it. It was a cafe racer style seat. The spoiler wasn't huge, but it was about 6-8 inches in length and about 4 inches high. The vertical edge (where the cowl meets the cushion) followed the contour of the bottom edge of the seat towards the rider about 2-3 inches. The seat cushion itself was about two inches thick, and while I would call it a single seat, it had enough room for a passenger. It had a very nice profile...no big bulky edges...very sleek. Similar to the Corbin gunfighter, but smaller.

I actually stopped and asked him where he got it. But he had a pretty strong accent and he was talking through his full face helmet, so I didn't want to stand and talk all day. He did tell me he bought it on ebay and it was for a Yamaha Street Tracker. He then customized it to fit his bike. I've tried many searches on the internet but with no luck. Does anyone have any idea what kind of seat this might be?

Thanks

You'll see this post on the twin talk board too.
