I'm in the market for a buttpad for my motorcycle.
But I'm thinking.. I can either "buy" a pre-made buttpad or I can just order a sheepskin pelt online and just cut my own. the sheep skin would cost about the same amount as a pre-made pad and I could cover my WHOLE seat. since my seat is custom on my motorcycle, so companys that sell pre-made sheepskin buttpads aren't gonna have my shape..
but at the same time.
If I order a whole pelt... I would also want to order some specialty foams and Re-do my whole seat again. I've learned a bit more on material and foam choices and what I like and dislike about my current model.
and instead of being fancy with my stitching I'd just do a plain vinyl and create a sheep skin "pillow" over top of the whole thing.
I'm not sure what to do.. there's a lot that goes into making a good seat you're willing to do 500 mile days in...
