My new chopper seat

This bike kills my rear end with a traditional seat. So, I built my own fat boy seat!

Quick question.. How did you go about designing the seat? Im planning on building one for my new ride..

How did you design it? What did you have to weld?

actually, I didn't weld anything. I took an old seat that comes with the occ's and took the seat off the post.Then I cut the part that bolts to the seat in half.That gave me a flat place to mount my new seat. I got a guy at the local welding shop to heat up and bend me a piece of steel.I then cut me a seat and backrest out of 3/4" plywood and covered it myself.Once I was done I had to add some washers here and there to get my angle of my seat right.
