a photo of yourself seated on your bike, feet up on the rests, both hands on the bars and have the pic taken from your LEFT...too easy :thumb


Thanks Dick, greatly appreciated for the details.  The above isnt too difficult, might have to locate a 2nd seat to use while John works on mine, as I cant go a day without the boy...  Should be too difficult!

Thanks again.

Nate, I am changing to a solo seat. I will be in bris for a few days 21-23 Sep to pick it up. My seat will be available if you would like to borrow it. It has been lowered to suit me (also duck's disease). Maybe we could arrange something for then.

Let me know if you want to do it this way.

Cheers
Grumpy

Many thanks Grumpy, that would be greatly appreciated!  :hatwave   I'll make sure not to put too many miles on it!  :butt

Happy to post it back to you when John finishes mine. 

Cheers!
Nate

If you just want your existing seat redone to fit your size Mick at MJM in Goulburn does a great job and is worth having a chat to or checking out his web site
Cheers Dallas

O.k., got in touch with MJM, and I think I might run with that. He seems quite reasonable price-wise

HI Alan, just wondering how u find the saddleman for comfort and being able 2 place u'r feet flat on the ground.

 Thanks Paul

Sorry Paul,  I missed this.

At 178cm (5'10") I don't have an issue with feet on the ground with this or the OEM seat which was only replaced because it needed to be recovered.

I did have problems with the OEM seat causing me to sit closer to the front causing my knees to hit the grey fairing inner panel. With the Saddleman I sit a little further back and all is good.
