Al: if you are working with Saddleman maybe see if you can get some sport seats done all in vinyl? Seems a coupe here and maybe a few not are put off by the suede. I know I am which is why I was leaning towards the Tech. Just a suggestion. |

I actually ordered the tech for the same reason, but on Al's advise switched to the Sport in person, it's nice. I'm glad I made the change |

I am placing an order for one of those seats. Question to Al, any thought on a passenger seat and one with a backrest? |

Maybe it is as the suede stuff does breathe a bit more right? |

I'm thinking it's the gap back there. I'm going to stuff some heat shield in there and see what happens, I put about 3 hours yesterday, and about the same today. I think it's noticeable, but not substantial. The increased comfort makes it worth it if it is a bit hotter |

why not think of the gap as an air vent for that overheated Voltage Regulator? :-) |

What's with the little pillion bonnet? Is it enough material to have the rear seat covered by a local person? |

Instructions say to remove stock covering and replace with this. Can DIY or have upholstery shop do it, or ship to seat company and they'll do it for $35} |

Great seat. I will test it on Thursday on a 300+ mile ride to key west. The sport is very nice but I think it will limit the ability to move around while riding hard because it is kinda grippy. The gap is not a big deal. I think it will draw some of the heat out.
