Post by RedStormJ »

Looks all White :lol: Hard to tell really until it's seen on the bike alongside all the other shapes and angles but it does seem a bit steep at the back to me.

I made it high to match the tank. its too high for sure. I found a cf tail online for the storm im going to copy but for now I am going to fit it to the bike while its all apart.

i'm not sure about the curve of the bottom of the seat
is the back the right distance for your elbow to rest on :thumbup:
told you not to but oh no you knew better

Thats factory spacing. I can bring it closer then add some pad . I am going to straighten the bottom out.
Edit. just cgopped it down with my wife and cleabed up the frame mounting area. I have a whole fist worth of space between my elbow and the back rest. I may fill it then add lots of soft pad. Trying hard to make it look good.
