I want this seat!

I'd like to try to figure out a way to get a seat like this for my 80 special. I don't know who's bike this is but it looks great. Where's the seat from. I was thinking I could have something made similar from my seat pan by hacking off the back lip right after the hinge and taking it to an upholstery shop. Suggestions?
p.s. hope it's alright to post this picture without permission.
Thanks,
John

That bike is owned by Bruce Gaal, and can also be seen here:

www.thetwinster.com/bikes.htm

Scroll about 2/3 the way down the page. It's located in the "Custom XS650s" section.

You might try sending an email to Mike Davis -- his email address is at the bottom of the page -- and ask if he knows how to contact Bruce.

Just did a bit of googling. I'm pretty sure this is his email address:

Email: brucegaal @ swigercoil.com

Here's the same bike with what looks like a Corbin gunfighter on it:

Best,

Man sorry to hijack your thread, but looking at this bike on the link, It looks like hes got about an inch before his sidestand or something digs in the pavement!

And another bike that was on ebay a few weeks ago that I let slip away. I really dig this seat, with some padding of course

What Happened to 650rider.com?
