All 650Rs New Seat

[russ_fae_fyvie]

After putting up with the gel pad on the pillion seat to give the missus more leg room, we are now expecting the new repadded/resculptured seat to arrive soon and the photos from the guy who did it looks really good so once they are back will give a report !

Looks great! How much did that set you back out of interest?

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]

It was 160 quid but I also gave him the gel pads to use in the rebuild to save some dosh

Here is the new seat (along with the new Hugger and front fender extender) just run today, as it turned out the run ended in pithing rain but the seat it so much better, gives the missus much more leg room and so well worth doing.

Nice looking stitches.

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]

Yeah he did a cracking job all round.

I've got mine booked in with him, posting it off on Monday, i'll post a pic when done.

I'll be getting foam and gel, raised 20-30mm with some laser etching and Honda wings emblems.



Similar to this, pillion seat will be made into a cowl.

That looks wicked, can hardly wait to see!

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]

He does an amazing job, may need his input for my new Tracer GT !

I was thinking about getting the honda wings emblem on it, one on each side of the cowl, just the wings not the Honda part, not sure if i should get them embroidered in colour or just laser etched since the bike is Black, i may be getting the tank wrapped or painted Blue though.

Here is a sneak peak of the seat, should be delivered in a day or so, final price was £265 including delivery.

Didn't bother with emblems, just CB650R, i'll get some pics when delivered.

just noticed you posted on reddit as well

keep us posted, hopefully the gel insert is gonna make a difference

 

[Rafe]

That looks really nice. Looking forward to seeing pictures on the bike and hearing your thoughts on whether it was a worthy upgrade in comfort.

 

[khemistq]

I will post updates, seat was due to be delivered today but looks like it will be tomorrow now.

 

[khemistq]

[khemistq]

The levers seem like good quality, would recommend them, will have to update on the comfort when i have more time in the seat.

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]
