Ive just done this, with the help of our Glyn, site seat expert, and what a cracking job hes done!!!

Seat pad raised 3/4" and covered in that nice suede look material, quality finish!

The effect it has had on the riding experience is nothing short of massive! From my uneducated perspective it has given so much more feel from the front end of the bike. It is so much more flickable.

Today at Silverstone most were taking a big swing at the stupis shicane. I was able to stop on the nose and turn in, before flicking over to exit. It is now as i remember my 998!

Any chance you could post a nice piccie Andy?

Also, does Glyn do this professionally or was it a favour to you?

Was it more or less expensive than the Pro-twins one & how does the finish compare?

How long does the mod take to turn around?

Sooooo many questions!!
