Topic: Can any members tell me who makes and sells this seat?

Hi- can any of you tell me who manufactures and sells the seat on the 550 below?  I really like the fully upholstered fastback look and cannot seem the find the seat through google.  Thanks.

Looks like super expensive benjies seat. I could be wrong though

I've been to their sight and didn't see a fully upholstered fastback seat.  I'm guessing the guy who built the bike in the picture may have simply taken a fiberglass seat pan and covered the whole thing.  I really like the look and would like to find one that utilizes the stock seat hing and lock.  The picture seems to look as if the stck seat lock is still in use?

I've seen people cannibalize a stock pan, keeping just enough of the pan that the lock, hinge, and support rubbers are still in place, then they permanently fasten a fiberglass pre-fab seat to what's left of the stock pan.  I'm thinking of going that direction when the time comes.

its sitting on top of the frame rails, seat lock NOT in use, but probably left there for the convenience of swapping in another seat for two-up riding (cant tell w/o looking for the hinges on the other side) and looks to be painted with a textured rattle can...

It's Benjie's work.

Hop on their page and check out the "Customer Bikes"; you'll see the same image you've shown here. They will wrap your fiberglass tail section in vinyl...in fact they'll do just about whatever you ask if you pay them.

Yup. I said it first.

It's a genuine Crotchnotcher Mk4. Congrats!

Thanks for the input.  I really like the look and it may just be worth the $420 if I can get the rest of the bike to look as sweet
