   Heat gun. It requires a light touch or you melt the vinyl but the backing   
   material has some stretch. I started in the middle, stapled the material   
   to the pan, and worked towards the ends.

   I developed an interest in roadside attractions before replacing it with a   
   Mustang.

   I didn't get the backrest. It was a vast improvement. Another mystery in   
   life is how HD can build something that looks like a seat but is a torture   
   device when third parties can supply something comfortable.   
      
   Mine had conchos but so did the LeatherLyke hard saddlebags so it didn't   
   look too strange. It's pretty ratty now so I put the original ass buster   
   back on. It works for around town.
