Those are some sleek lookin seats. What I dig the most is the red rims on the black Stella.
I did some custom work on my back rest seat pad, going from the factory black to a matching grey. I then had my nickname stitched in a font to match the Stella script.

BTW, which white walls are those with the modern tread on those red rims? I'm lookin for some new white walls and am considering a non-classic lookin tread

Very nice. I'm sure they look/feel even nicer in person!

OK, but the real question is, have they ridden the bike with the Primas. Everything I have read says the Primas rub on the 4T. Not in the front, obviously, but the back tire will rub on the engine because the tire is too wide. So, is it a 2T in the picture, or does the dealer have some fix to prevent the tire from rubbing?

speaking of seats. have any of you seen or done anything like any of these? i'm interested in figuring out how to get/make #s 1 and 2.
#1
This one's my favorite, i just wish the back of the seat were flush with the body ^^
I like the café racer inspired seats, but since i ride mine as a daily, i would need a ton of cushion.
#2
sort of like this one ^^
I feel like this is a more realistic design on account of the gas tank height and components.
i also feel that this one would require very little to no change to the body work. which makes me think that this design would be the best for the 4t.
#3
i like the latch design for this one but don't like the idea of drilling into the body.
#4
#5
#6
#7
#s 7 and 8 are just wishful thinking/eye-candy to me.
#8
p.s. SockyTX, your custom bike is really sexy. well done.

You will have trouble making some if not all of those seats work on a 4t because of the raised tank.
Another company in the uk have just started making the ancilotti for the 4t
