I've installed a bit more comfort on the XB for my advancing years. The race style seat was beginning to grate on my arse somewhat so I had this made by a local lad. A one man band who can do some decent upholstery. Also as I'm getting old and grumpy I've put the standard silencer back on. I love the muted sound. I can think now without the open can booming away. It's been powder coated gloss black of course to match the rest of the bike. :old:

Nice comfortable looking seat and the exhaust looks good too, shame about the drive, needs a gardener with your attention to detail to get the weeding done :ner:

Is it more comfortable than the S1 now Dave? Or are cycle shorts still required?
