I wonder if I can pick your collective brain 
Now that I have the yamaha flat seat I'm considering having a custom made seat using the stock seat as donor. I'd like to have something made out of leather, retro looking (yep, late hipster here), and slighter higher at the back, so that I can attach my rear seat bag without running the risk of it catching fire for brushing the akra high exhaust.
I'd like it to be a bit more comfortable, so I ordered a gel pad (link). I will ask the upholsterer (guys that have done a few cars for me over the years) to put it in. I'm debating if I should include an heating element. It never gets too cold in here, but temp does drop into the low teens in winter.
This is the best I could find, and if nothing else changes that's what I'll be asking them to do. Silver stitching (mine is garage grey), perforated leather on the driver and passenger area, suede for the sides and full leather at the rear.
Anyone seen a good looking seat I could use for inspiration? I considered the seat of the BMW R Nine T (below) which I rather like, but maybe not enough retro.
Any general words of advice?
Thanks in advance.
