Hey gang,
I'm about to set off for the Socal ride but shot some pics of the new seat last night around sunset that I wanted to share. This is the fiberglass seatpan that was seen in this post tinyurl.com/ng3c5 .

The upholstery on the seatpan is a pro job to my design. It's wafer thin. Furthest I've gone with this seat is a 45 min freeway commute on crappy wavy concrete and that was fine. Mountain roads should be a lot more fun ;) We'll see how I fare...

Check the gallery for a larger pic.

Great job man, definitely intersted to hear how comfy those longer rides will be though :) Maybe you need some foam butt pads to put in your pants or something ;)

Nice seat I was thinking the same way on mine but not that thin .
I was wondering if you had a post on how you did your wireing harness and I realy like the way you have your ignition key..

Well, I went on a longish ride (150 miles or so) this weekend and the seat was ok on the freeway and great in the twisties. The only reason I'm sore today is because I crashed on the way home(and yes, the seat is f***ed up too). I'll have it recovered but I have other things that need fixing first - starting with the front end.

Wagonmaster, I don't have a post on my wiring harness, sorry. I just looked at the wiring diagram *a lot* to figure it out. If you have specific questions post them in the electrical forum along with a wiring diagram for your bike and I'm sure some guru's will jump in (loudhvx comes to mind, but there's more).
