Yes, thats the company. P & P. For a seat to be recovered with one gel pad is about £100. Extra for the pillion seat. A strap on pad sounds a cheaper, simpler solution. As for my poor back brake, on wet roads (most of the time around here) braking needs to be distributed more evenly between back and front. At the moment this is not possible. There is a local breakers who deal only with Kawasaki. I think my best bet is to take the master cylinder in, to compare it with what they have.
The rear shock absorber is original, but is certainly not soggy. The fork oil? Who knows. When I bought the bike, the suspension settings were all over the place. Different settings on each fork leg. I have followed the set up instructions in the Haynes manual to give me the standard setting. I have to say this does not seem to make a scrap of difference. I am used to older bikes with virtually no adjustment available, and I would be quite happy if bikes were still made that way. The handling to me, feels no better than a late 70's early 80's superbike and is far worse than a middleweight from that era.
