Superwrench1973,

I sort of made my seat a solo. I mounted a case (carry-on luggage) to the grab rail and let it rest on the passage part of the seat. Looks like cramp but makes such a good back rest that I can’t hardly ride without it.

I have also looked at lower the back of the original seat. The black box is in the way. Thinking about remounting the black box in where the tool box is. Cable should reach and I never use the tools anyway. --- Well, I guess I’ll have to carry them in the case now that I jinxed myself.

I just thought, mines a special, if yours is a standard it will probably be different.

Good Luck,
Bob

lower the front end

You can also lower the front end about two inches by raising the fork tubes in triple trees.
