I have raised the hight by 25mm and therefore reducing the scollop at the back of the seat which allows me to move back by about 70mm which is so much better for me. It has taken 3 attempts till I got it just rite I now feel I can tuck a little better the new seat cover is supper soft with great grip and I won't have to worry about strapping a bag to it and causing any bamage

on my last few bikes I have made a touring bag to suit the shape and gear I want to take its quite challenging not mention time consuming. (I would much rather buy a rear bag) it needs to carry 4 -5 days of gear(easy as I travel light ) the challenge comes when I have to pack the tent sleeping bag and mattress. I think this time I may buy a suitable bag and modify it

Finished my new custom seat today I have adjusted the height and shape to suit me specifically, made a new cover to suit the tank guard I had already made. I used a specific alsport motobike grip vinyl. Next on the list is a rear bag and then I have my touring setup all done ?
