Welcome to the forum. Nice work on the bike - looks like it had been forgotten about for a while. There are a couple of other kiwis lurking around here somewhere... Where abouts are you based?

Welcome!  I love the seat!  A little duct tape and good as new!

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Well done!

Your seat looks like a 30 minute comfort jobby, but it's a vast improvement over the destroyed original.
