Cheaper option is getting extra foam fitted, had that done the fj1200 I had, nice and comfy, and cheap

Still would like to know the process of fitting the risers though. :think1

The attachment to the top post looks familiar
But I can't open it as I am not a member of the st.owners forum
Title: Re: Seat Risers...
Post by: ruSTynutz on April 04, 2020, 08:57:22 AM: There's not a lot of info in those links unfortunately...Some of the links contained in the threads are for the thread links I've posted.
There are also links to the MCL (MotorCycleLarry) seat risers but unfortunately it appears they have gone out of business and the ebay listings are long gone... :fp

Not a real help unfortunately...

I am a member so can access the full size version of the photos if that's any help...
