It's got the right shape- level rather than tipped forward.  No idea why Honda think tipped forward is a good idea.  Maybe it suits the Japanese body shape (or short rides).

I wonder if they would offer a discount if they received multiple orders from OzSTOC. Those wanting one combine together to place an order.

Worth thinking about....

That has a lot of merit Sabie if the verdict is all :thumbs.
Could be considerable savings me thinks.

Good thought Sabie  :thumbsup
I for one would be very interested to know if it places one's feet any closer to terra firma?? 
It looks like it might, but if it's any wider than the stock seat, then it might not!

I'd love to give a ride report however I've not been able to go out on the ST since fitting the seat!!!!!!!!! Defeats the point of having a bike clearly but plan a ride out this weekend so will report back!

There is a modification for the deflectors so that the cover piece near you knee does not go astray.  can't find the post

I did see that as I was looking for deflectors for the 1100.  If I'm right, from memory there was a modification of putting pin in the deflector that was loose??

It may have been from the STowners site (good site as well)

Cheers
