Looks awesome with the CF body work! Hopefully I can convince the wife to buy me one for my birthday in a couple months. I would also have to get the passenger seat done to match with more cushion. |

The seat also comes with a cover for the rear seat. It won't fit OVER the seat, but the instructions for the cover says to remove the stock seat cover. I'm planning on taking the pillion seat to have some padding added for the wife and was just gonna see if they could match the vinyl to add an inch or two. It was part of the agreement with my wife. Sounds like a winner to me!! |

here's the passenger seat with the new skin. my wife thought it looked better with the band back on it. i think she was right. i used thumb tacks to hold it until i could get it stapled at work.

Hmm, that's odd. I put the pillion cover on over the stock seat cover on a couple seats and it fit good. Took some tugging here and there to get it right, but it looks fine. Al |

How do ya like it? I took my XBR with a select seat for a superslab ride to Wisconsin Dells last weekend, and my biggest complaint is no channel on the select seat. It was only about 130 miles each way, but it got uncomfortable cuz my bits n' pieces were gettin squished. Does the channel in that seat solve this problem? |

I had a select seat before this and it is remarkable. As far as being better on the bits n pieces, a little. It's mostly meant for the tail bone. But, sittin a little farther back on the seat does amazing things. I absolutely love my new seat. |

Channel helps for sure. You don't know how much pressure just sitting on any seat does until you ride on this. I rode 600+ miles in 2 days. |
