I like it.

Hi Russ,

The seat looks great and it looks like there is enough step for some back support. The green trim, is that standard or was that soemthing they added. My TBIRD is black/black.

Anyhow, please send me some info from the supplier as the legend and Tbird have the same stock seat chassis (I think). This definetly looks do-able and the cost is right. Hey, any special tools needed for the install?

Patrol,
When I placed the order for the Skinz I asked them to include the trim, what they call a welt. Understand this was using the stock Legend seat, you can get a cover for your T-Bird, but just doing the skinz will not change the shape.
If you like this one you should look online for a stock Legend seat and then order the cover. As for tools it just take a staple gun.
I got this from Sargent's

Wow, that looks great! Are you going to add the foam after all?

TexasTri · 01-30-2007

at this point I am not going to change the foam. I have another plan for it. I want to try and fab up a TBS like seat with a cowl I can hide tools under. I like to take the bike from one version for trips with a regular seat, stock bars and the sissy bar, then another version with flatter bars, no windsheild, and a different seat with no sissy bar for around town. I have a regular TBird seat I will use for that.
Kind of like having 2 bikes, but only having to find parking for one.

Let me know when you want to get together and see what the Legend seat would look like on your Bird. It's gotta warm up again sometime. :-D

If you really want to do it on the "cheap", i got a stock pan off the site, tore it down and molded the foam myself. covered it with some gel pad and had it covered for $75 (including foam, gel and covering). haven't sat on it yet, but even if it isn't what i want, i now now how to do it myself and don't have to worry about scouring ebay or the classifieds for one. will report my findings when the snow melts.

Has the snow melted yet? :-D
