I have a plain cobra backrest pad and purchased a studded seat. Would like to trade my plain on for a studded one.

they're real easy to stud yourself, i do them all the time. if you have a TANDY LEATHER store near you, they have the studs in about three different sizes.
later, bud

I bought my SS studs at Hobby Lobby. SS will not rust. I used a double layer of cardboard box flaps to work on and lightly tapped each one into place using a
small rubber mallet, then bent the prongs down tight using the end of a small Sharpie marker.

usually they are stapled at the bottom of the backrest. some are stiched, but i just cut the stich and then staple it when i put it back together. i've
only found one that was stiched and it was off a harley. there's got to be a way to get them off...they were put on. the easy ones have zippers.
all the seats i've done are stapled. i first mark the seat with a white grease pen as to where i want the studs, then start taking staples out. remove the cover and install the studs. re-install cover and restaple. an electric or air stapler works best, but i have used a hand T-10 style stapler. anybody that would want there's done, if they want to foot the shipping, i'd be glad to do them for the cost of parts...usually less than 10 bucks for staples, studs, and conchos if you'd want them too. later, bud
