    Opinions on this seat

    I picked this up awhile back and have never installed it. I was planning on using it on my current project. The rider seat height is about the same as the stock seat, but the passenger seat is a bit higher. It looks a bit odd without the seat trim and grab bar... i just set it on the Skunk to get an idea. The seat itself is nicely made. What do you think?

      Its a nice looking seat, but looks a bit goofy on the Skunk. Might look better with the grab bar, but IMO the Skunk needs to stay sleek. BUT it IS a nice looking seat for something else

        Bruce, I think this is a case of you're still not fully awake.
        Please don't put that on the bike. Get it off right now!
        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

              It's definately not for the Skunk. I just stuck it on there to see how it looked. I bought it for my other 1000, which will be "themed" after the 1150. But I'm not sure about it either. I might just sell it, or keep it for the pan.

                That seat does look very comfy but the pillion is a little high. Looks like it was made to match up with a backrest or little rack. Or maybe from a bike with bags.
                But then...I had a heck of a time keeping my eyes on the seat... man that swingarm! and that clutch cover! Having a black engine I kind of forget how pretty shiny can be.

                  Could a good upholstery person remove a portion from the bottom of the foam and kinda thin it down then reuse that cover ?

                          That's the visual equivalent of a failed enema.

                            Looks like an L seat. (keep your anti L comments to yourselves lol )


                            Edit: Oh and n1 elky's photochop does look better, but I'm not sure I'd want my passenger on a downward angle off the back, unless you're trying to get rid of said passenger

                              Yea that could be bad. I guess it would be more of a way to make a cheap solo seat.
