I got this seat with the bike that I'd just bought. It's custom for sure. 8) It appears to be leather and snake skin, not really my style. It has the shop that did the work embroidered on the sides but it's been blacked out with a Sharpie (David Lee Upholstery with a 253 area code). I'm sure it was expensive. The bucket looks fine. Anyone interested? Make me an offer.
