I lost the seat pad on my test ride, luckily Aladinsane came up with a brand new cowl ':smt001'. I have since aquired a seat pad off fleabay.

If you're stuck I have the original seat pad with three small tears which you could get recovered, for the price of the postage.
I might take you up on that. Although I never carry a passenger, I need a seatpad for luggage and I'm due away on 9th June.

I'll PM you with my details, many thanks.

^^ Good idea, the only reason I keep mine is that I want it for occasionally strapping a tail pack to.

I also seem to have problems securing my pillion pad after it has been removed.

It always needs a good couple of thumps before it clicks into place. After this alarming news I think the lock mechanism is going to get a good lubrication today.

Sorry to all of those who have lost their seat pads thus far.

Great weather this weekend so might see some of you about in the East Anglia area. :smt023

Just a line to thank Kaisermuldoon for a replacement seatpad at a very reasonable price and to the forum in general - good info and great members (oo-er missus!) :smt001
