I repainted the gas tank on my occ chopper.
In the process, i decided to put a different seat on it (i had a standard 10 speed seat on it before).
so i had the purple velour bannana seat that came on my lowrider, and a chopped sissy bar from another project.
I tore off the purple velour and recovered the seat with some maroon vinyl, but i didn't like the way it looked.
I tore off the red vinyl and got some black leather like material. Not sure exactly what it is, but it looks like leather (altho it isn't leather). I re-covered the seat again and i added a little more foam....but it didn't really make a difference as far as softness goes.
now i can sit far back and stretch out....it makes for a much better ride.
notice that i have the pedals set up as foot pegs...i can really stretch both legs out with them that way.
and here it is next to my 20" drag bike, just for a size comparison. I'm 5'6, so i fit both of these bikes pretty good.
