Has anyone else noticed just about any of the race 999s have the height of the seat pad higher. Im talking about the actual pad itself in relation to the back of the tank.
That is protwins race bike. I think the dp one is a comfort thing. I spoke with brett at pro twins and this is a performance modification. Part of the improvements in their quest for handling.
I bought mine from Pro-Twins - works a treat - moves the weight of your body so that there is more over the front - and this is how I rate the mod . . .
Comfort - 7/10 - puts slightly more pressure on your wrists Feel - 9/10 - much more confidence in the front end Value for money - 8/10 - definately
My mate had his 749r done at the same time - he was thinking about dropping the forks, raising the rear, modding the fork internals etc etc etc but after changing his seat - he says that its transformed the bike!!!
I have to agree with him - the bike feels so much more planted at the front now!

It's a removable frame rail - SBK rules allow metal to be added to the frame but not removed. They don't use it at all tracks depending on how much flex they want (I think), which is why it's removable.
