Try wearing a speedo........and maybe start waving a bit sooner at the harley guys.....they can be a bit slow.....and forget the mopeds....they don't even see you....they are busy starring at the white line all srugged up and holding on for dear life waiting for someone to run slap over them ...

One of the members sent me this........I wish..........

The speedo thing might start a new rider apparel style, but I'm afraid it would definity get more guys than gals waving................however the guys will be the gay guys Shocked

What's wrong with my saddle? (I know its not a true cafe seat, just a re-covered stock seat.) The XS is my daily bike. It has a functional requirement to be VERY comfortable. I dunno about swapping out my nice cushy seat for a flat bottomed cafe seat. I'm a scrawny git; I don't carry any extra cushioning along with me, so my saddle has got to have some comfort. If I rode in a speedo and had a big pregnant belly like XSJohn, I wouldn't worry about it. Rolling Eyes

On second thought, I don't think there are any rearsets in my future anyway. The only mod I'm going to do this winter is putting the elephants feet on the rockers... and call it done.

Besides... I have a new toy to work on.

killer...don't get me wrong... If you were going for a cafe look I would change the seat before adding rearsets, so now you've changed your mind from adding rearsets. These things seem to evolve on thier own anyways. I had a vibrating fairing on my kz1000...it's in a ditch somewhere on the T-CAN (highway) after about an hour of riding I couldn't tolerate it any longer. have fun, rubber down, shiny up!
