Bandit seat options?

    I have a (thinks) Corbin seat on the B12 which is like sitting on a
    dinner plate. Too wide, the GSXR K1 seat was much more comfortable. The
    standard bandit seat isn't much cop either. Also the standard design of
    seat and seat cowl looks pretty gash IMHO.

    The Blaney B12 had a 916 style conversion, this looks great and with a
    gel pad might feel ok. Having had a 996 I know the pillion perch is all
    but useless though.

    Question is does anyone know of a decent conversion which junks the cowl
    and standard pad for something that looks good and works well two up? I
    saw a custom on the IOM which appeared to be something like an SV1000
    unit, looked good but I expect it was a home made job. I'm looking for
    an across the counter solution.

    I thought you said you were selling it?

    It could go either way. When the RD gets over here I will have a parking
    crisis. Selling the B12 raises enough to sort the RD completely and have
    the remaining (tuning) work done to the RS. Then again it wasn't getting
    ridden much because I didn't like the seat.

  4. Still does. And it's the most comfortable seat I've ridden on - moreso
    than the ZZR11 seat.

    Pillion perch on this is about the size and thickness of a slice of toast.

    Yeah I found the 996 fine for 3 hours. The Gixxer was 5.
    As I said! It's also too high over the rider.
