Great looking bike :onya:
Hi Typan, you sure keep your bike tidy! Very smart.
Your seat, did you have it fitted or was it on there when you got the bike? I've looked at those, they come from France & cost nearly $1000 landed here. I'd really like one or very similar, but I'm loath to spend that sort of cash without the opportunity to at least sit on one prior to ordering.
So, how is that seat for you? Are you a tall bloke? No 'slide' into the tank? etc Cheers
Digger bike seats in south wales specialises in that style, he has 3 for exchange at the moment for £135 a pop.

hi thanks for the comments, regarding the seat, it was on the bike when I got it.the comfort is no better than any other seat.you still get a numb arse after a couple of hours. I personally think seat like this is just for looks. :grin:

the disks were on the bike when I bought it. they stop pretty well, although like most older bikes the back brake is not that good. :onya:
Thx for the info Typan, I'm not looking for looks, more comfort really on longer rides is what I'm thinking of. It's not a necessity just a maybe want.
Col, my seat is an all day just perfect. no pics of 14 on site but same as bandit. best seat ive ever had. rate original 3/10. guzzler seat 11/10. hot long rides i just throw sheepskin on, single layer me, double layer wife. rest of time just naked seat. http://custommotorcycleseats.com.au/
