Default Color change

Well, I've been lurking for awhile now, but I thought I would wait until I had something useful to contribute until I actually posted.

My wife sometimes rides the bike, so I wanted to lower the seat height just a bit as well.

We started with OEM seat pans. We trimmed off the rear corners of the riders seat, and added gel...oh,so comfy.

Finding the right grade of blue Alcantara took forever though...

Blue isn't for eveyone, but I think it really "pops".

If you like them and they are confy then thats all it matters bt to me they look way out of place and the front seat looks weird. Just my opinion, my taste is different thats all.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
