Wow, its like another bike.

Today first the Sargent seat came, so I installed it.
10 3/4" wide verses OEM at 6" on the top an flat portion. Your arse bones land right on the corners of the flat on the OEM seat.

Then while waiting for the ups man I pulled the 2 throttle cables and rerouted. Pull clutch cable and install the rox risers in the straight up position. UPS man finally showed at 5:00 and I installed the +3 cable and new lever.

I only got a short test ride due to constant down pours. I can now stand up with out bending with the new risers. Seat feels way different, flat like a chair with no stress like before. Will need to take a long ride tomorrow to see how I feel. The seat is top quality for fit and finish, looks like it should have been there from kawasaki new. I did not have any problems with the after market rack behind and along side of it like I had anticipated.

At the manufacturing level the new seat would not have cost but a few bucks more than the crap supplied by kaw. if that.

The next project will be the suspension and see if I can soften it up a little more than it is. I am old and I need comfort! I never liked dunlop tires but the 606's on this bike are great. I have 2 miles of dirt/gravel bad road to get to black top on the way to town and I may buy another set of the 606 tires when these wear out, their about 50% right now. John
