    Thanks Greg,we talked about those on a UJM site,I just never got one yet.Seems like they work pretty well and the price is right. But do not let the store know they work well because then the price will double:-)
    I still have the original padding on mine but a new cover about 15 years ago.

      No one said anything yet, so I will. That is one ugly snake. What kind of snake is that??

        I think it's a common garter snake. They sometimes swim in the ocean here. There's something about a swimming snake: NOPE.

        They come in different colours:

              I don't mind getting off that seat every 100 miles or so anyway. I can carry a couple extra gallons of gas in the saddlebags if need be.

                      Greg,well I agree 100% I used leave in the morning with a full tank of gas,hit the first rest area for a short p break and then run till idiot fuel light came on and then get fuel and repeat.Worked well for me,not too tired at the end of the day.Just my system and works for me but I am not a long one day distance rider,usually stay around 500 miles per day when on the road.
                      Now days I think I would give out before the bike would
