alternative seats

[Guest EUGENE]

Has anyone tried alternative seat units? Are there any available?

 

What I'm getting at is this.

I love the front half of the V11 but I think the seat unit lets it down. I'd really like to retro fit an old style cafe racer seat and give the bike the flat Ironing board look. I'm not sure the yanks will know what I'm talking about here!

 

In other words turn my V11 into a V7.

I build seats for a living. The V11S/Lemans seat is VERY different from the long and narrow V7 Sport seats. I'm not sue that reshaping a V11 seat into that form will give you the results you want. The V11 seat is very wide!

Here's a link to page 1 of my seat pics on Yahoo.

You can access the rest from there. Well over 100 seat photos there now. This represents much of my last three year's of seat work since we got the digi camera. Hopefully they'll give you some ideas!

 

I still have my custom gel padded V11 Lemans solo seat on EBay right now. It ends late this afternoon.

 

I can reshape a seat for you in any way that is possible. But you'll have to be sure that that shape is the one that will work for you as well. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at rmaund@pinn.net
