I email the pic from my phone to myself as an attachment.  Then download it from the email onto my 'puter.  Then I can attach it from the 'puter to the post here.  There are other ways but this way I find to be easiest.

I have one of those phone cords to charge the phone from my computer, and it lets me use my phone as an exteranl drive.  It connects like a printer does.

and my seat fits perfectly!! :deal:

For everybody that was deathly concerned about my predicament, I finally found somebody that'd cover the existing Corbin seat for less than 50% of the cost of a new seat.

I considered a new seat, but realized I might find myself in the same predicament- I don't know what's 'special' about this seat pan, but I prefer the way it fits omre than the three other seats I have. 
I did some of the prep work, in order to save labor.  I drilled out all the rivets, stripped the skin off, and took the hardware off.

Every upholsterer directly in the metro area wanted $450-600 to recover the seat, asking somebody outside of the direct area chopped this down to $220, and I'm really happy with the work he did.  He had a decent skin to work off of, and I don't know how much foam repair he did, if any.  (I wasn't asking for any, so I doubt he did.)

Thanks for all the help.  (Although now I don't have any place to stick my sandwiches other than my fairing pockets.)
