Tbone9191 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 So I have decided I am going to be customizing my own seat soon on the Honda SS. Hope all goes well:popcorn:. Any suggestions from anyone who has done this before are always welcome. Also, if anyone knows where to get impact gel or other good gel inserts that would be really helpful. Wish me luck, I am sure I am going to need some of that. Does anyone make a new seat cover for a Honda Shadow? I wonder how hard it would be to make my own...hummm...? I will post some pics when this is completed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 How would I put custom stitching with a raised design on a seat? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone9191 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 No one I figured someone must have tried this before. Maybe I should rethink it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just redid my padding Tuesday night, now have a memory foam cushion. I'm going to post a how-to as soon as I get a minute to write it up. I just re-used all of the OEM Seat, just cut it up and put memory foam in it. Used a 14 dollar pillow from walmart. Don't know anything about custom stitching though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Difficulty was nil. I haven't had a chance to really ride yet, but just sitting on it and puttering around a few miles, it is awesome. I'll post a how-to here in a while, it's a busy weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artmageddon Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Here is the how-to I used as a basis for mine-http://www.shadowaero750.com/files/memoryfoam.pdfHere are the pics I took while doing mine, I'll add the text and steps this weekend sometime, but you can at least start thinking about it and figuring it out. http://www.ohio-riders.com/album.php?albumid=496The pics show up in reverse.
