Anyway, good for me it was too tall for her or it wouldn't have been for sale. He's bought her an 1100 Monster now instead (and I guess that's set up for his weight as well lOl )

Is it possible to get a less comfortable seat for the SS :?: Might sound daft, but I prefer the rock hard one on my S. On the SS I feel like I'm perched too high on top of a couple of pillows and can't feel the road. I can see the advantages of the seat, good for long distances and two up riding, but that isn't what I'm currently doing. I tried my S seat, but it's too short :sad1:

As in pushbike or fetish :?:

Just found this place, they seem to take hard seats and make them comfortable, so they must be able to do it the other way. Not cheap, but I'll ask em anyway :P

Nah, sod it. I've still got the XB12S, so I guess they can both be different. I may as well make the most of what the SS is and keep it as more of a laid back bike, so I just need to change the bars, and maybe put the back pegs back on :shock:

I will, I think you're right, but it definitely isn't as nimble for combat commuting :P
