I want to re-do my motorcycle seat, foam is easy to get and sculpt, but the fabric/leather, how should I get this? Find a used couch on the road and gut a chunk out of it?
It's a couple hundred to get it done in a shop or buy a new one so I may as well do it myself. (it's also more fun)

Have you considered just building a new one from scratch?
Its pretty easy to do, and can be pretty badass.

I'm gonna do something like this up to the part with the t-shirt. That's interesting. I am just inquiring about what to use as that covering material. A black T-Shirt could be cool.

pvc leather is pretty cheap from sewing / craft stores. If you can't spend anything, there's always free leather couches like you said.
Ask in chopper forums. There are a lot of DIY seats in the chopper world.
