    Thanks mate,  they look good.  The seat is right on the guard meaning the seat is flexible in the middle to handle the up and down swingarm? In other words completely stock except for the seat? no hidden struts or whatever?  Don't know whether me back would handle it.

    Nah Burnzi, I usually strap the ol fella to me leg to keep it outta the way.  Me left leg to, I once strapped it to my right leg and burnt me knob on me pipes.

    Philthy,  seat moves with the fender, I have I weak back and have no problems what so ever-

     

     

    This is our famous accordion seat to function with the movement of the fender. It attaches with a tongue in the front, two rubber grommets in the middle and hardware kit, and snap lock Velcro to the fender. The installation is very simple and your bike will not need any modifications.
    The fender will not move against the seat, which will not wear on your paint. You will feel the road similar to riding a ridged bike because the back of the seat is moving with the fender and has a much different look than some of the seats offered. Rich, the owner developed this Accordion solo system around 15 years ago for the custom world and have been making them ever sense.
    The seat includes:
    -Custom hand shaping foam and density that is made to your specifications (height, weight, ECT)
    -Nitrated air gel (does not hold hot or cold, breathes well with weather)
    -All Italian smooth leather cover
    -Velour lining
    We do recommend upgrading the standard smooth Italian leather to a bull hide insert which is a heavier grain. Using this upgrade will help with wear due to the movement from the fender. Over time the smooth leather may crease and the bull hide is much more heavy duty and wears really well. This upgrade costs $250.00. Take a look on our website to see a rocker seat with bull hide.

         Thanks Graemec, the seats are cool, just the thing I need without having to go to struts.  I'll eventually go for it after certain other priorities are sorted out first.
