    Custom seat build

    Custom seat build

    You may run into pan issues if you go lower. The guy who did the seat was pointing out how there was very little padding before you hit the pan - particularly on the rise. I guess you could go lower but probably would mean less padding.

    Custom seat build

    Just took out for 70 mile ride. This time I wore my Triumph vented motorcycle pants. That made a difference over jeans . It is by no means a luxury touring seat now - and I did that on purpose not wanting to destroy the flow of the seat and bike. Definitely a difference (for the good) and can...

    Nothing yet - still considering options. I will have a custom seat made soon and plan to add a little height. I'll report back once that is done - I should get the seat back in early August

    Contacting Ryan at Lloyds garage?

    Ha - this is what is on the Toce site: We would recommend reaching out to Ryan directly at Llyodz Garage ([email protected]) about the tuning capabilities on your specific year rather than purchasing the Powervisions directly through us. I'll try with a z - and let Toce know

    Agreed about your comment about being on 2 wheels. Just got back also from a trip (car) with wife through southern Utah and hit Monument Valley, Zion, Bryce, Escalante, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches. Would have been fun on 2 wheels. National Parks are getting crazy busy and suggest anyone...
