I have had my seat ready shaped by David's Custom Motorcycle seats at Budgewoi. Dave did a great job. He was able to use my original cover. It's much better, firmer, flatter with a soft layer on top.

Finally figured out the photo thing again 😂

Mr Bones

I have some YSS shocks on the way and will sort the front end out in the next couple of weeks

Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

Mr Bones

Mine is a 2001. Only just clicked over 34,000km. Brought it 12 months ago with 27,000km on it.
Got my knew YSS on last night.
Now to sort the front end out

GSXKING

They look really good I especially like the piggy back.
Is there a specific part number for ordering those.
My front is well sorted. However I've been refer-bushing the factory shocks for ever because of the look. Now you've shown me yours I'll be cracking open the piggy bank. 💰💰💰

David lives close to me, I see him often as he is a VJMC member.
I was in Cessnock couple of weeks back as my daughter moved to there not far from Maccas.

Just jump on the YSS Australia webpage and punch in your bike details. There should be 8 options to choose from.

I personally have RG362's in the +25mm version. Mr Bones are the same model in the "black edition", not sure which length though.

@ Mr Bones
I spoke with David this morning at Freemans Waterhole he was happy you liked the result.

Thanks @Lurch it's a lot more money than Rads charge for a refurb. I'll definitely consider it if it can make a big difference.
