Well, I'm a short-ar*e with a vee and a wee seat would be nice. I'm up for a swap.
Mine's a 2008, done around 12k with my backside on it only and is in A1 condition (seat, not my ar*e)

Only problem is I am in Norfolk and pretty tied up for the next few weekends. PM me with number and we can discuss if you want

Cheers

Good to meet you Karl, just made it back from our meet, almost bang on 4 hours.

Hope my Wee seat is working out better for you, I'll be fitting your Vee seat tomorrow and of course will then have to take a test ride....or two!  :thumb:

Here's a pic of mine from Stromtrekkers II, black is definately the best colour. I've got some black givi engine bars to fit then it's just the bash plate and heat guard to swap out.....(wonder if I can get black brake discs? :eusa-think: and get some black engine casings..... :crazy: )

Hi Andy

Glad you got back in a sensible time for a decent night's sleep. Well, I can now touch the floor and I haven't suffered any Wee pains in the backside but only time and some long distances will tell for sure. One thing I do know, if I'd tried putting a gel pad in the Vee seat my little legs would have been struggling for traction at stops.

On the black subject, my silver (grey!) standard GT racks are starting to tarnish a bit so they may get a trip to the powder-coaters this winter and black is a likely contender. A nice pair of black Beowulfs too methinks. Right, where's my credit card...?
