slickvic - do you lose any cargo capacity in the underseat storage with the new seat? Hard to tell from the pics.

The stock seat is shaped on the underside at the front to accomodate a helmet.

I just checked both seats and it looks like they use the exact same seat shell and cut the hump mounts off and re-upholster.

My full face Bell air raid helmet fits just fine.

I really like the looks of this seat! I went on the powerbypcx.com website, but I couldn't find this one. The closest thing I see is the KAN type 1 saddle, which says it sits lower. I don't want to lose any storage space, and I'm 6' so I don't need to be any lower.

Do you know if they still offer this same seat, and if so, could you post or send me the link? Thank you very much!

Hiya!

Check the 'How To' thread in 'Accessories' - there's a link there.

I found it - thanks! It wouldn't come up on my browser when I translated to English for some reason...

I am thinking of doing the same. On the factory seat, I removed the hump to see how far back I would want to sit. Turns out that the best position is directly above the 2 holes that held the hump. Does your new seat allow you to sit that far back, or even better, does it allow you to sit even further back?

Mine does.

That's EXACTLY where I end up placing my ass. Right where the hump was previously located. I could go further back too - if I was taller. :D

(See the 'How To' in 'Accessories' for the seat I bought - essentially like the factory seat but without the hump.)
