Ever since I installed the comfort seat, the stock seat was just sitting in my garage. I always thought the stock seat was a bit too simple, so I took it to the local leather guy. He had done some work for my friends' Ducatis here in Seoul. In any case, here is the picture of what it looks like before and after. The letters are bit too big and the alcalntra is not waterproof and might be too sticky on the track, but I think it is better than the simple black as it came out with the bike.  |

Did the heat shiweld make any difference, and is so what did you use, and how attached?

I used the typical building construction material that are commonly used here in Korea. It has sticky side for attachement, the other side (Gold color surface) to reflect the heat away, and there is a styrofoam (thermo barrier?) in between. | |

So here it is finally installed on my 1199s. I think the letters should have been a bit smaller, but it is all right for now... The heat issue is not different than the comfort seat. It is definitley harder (less cushion). But, now I feel like I am a part of the bike rather than sitting on top of it. Last edited by gsd98jsh; September 5th, 2012 at 09:44 PM. |

Looks like great craftsmanship and adds to an already gorgeous bike. Well done.
