Cheers all for the replies! :thumbup
This is just for the seat pads, as I have the fairing in the post. :woot
I'll need to check the shape and fit when it gets here, but I'm thinking glass fibre panel at the base, a couple of thin layers of foam, with a cover on that. I shall try to take pics of the whole thing and put it up on the dustbowl my build thread
Looking at it this evening, it looks like 2 things may happen:
1) If I can get it correct, I will hopefully be able to use the OEM seat latch, and use it to remove my seat pad to get at the electrics - more ergonomic than many custom bikes who have to remove the entire rear fairing!
2) It looks like the seat pad will lower the seat height too - racier stance (you can lean further over the tank), but also comfier - your back ends up straighter when crusing. And from what I can see, the longer stretch to the bars means the funky chicken dance with the shorter mirrors may be a thing of the past too!! :lol :lol :lol
