Got home last night and noticed UPS had left me a present on my porch once again. I know I have some weird fettish with seats for my Bonnie - but I until now - I couldn't find something I actually suited me in both the look and feel. I do believe this has done it. I'll know better once the new wears off - but as of right now - this seat is IT! VERY low profile and the leather cover is 'sticky' - so you don't slide around in the saddle. Looking and feeling it makes you wonder if it's comfortable - but dang nabbit - it is VERY comfortable. We'll see what a long distance ride does for my 4th point of contact in the future. No mounting instructions except a nite that says something to the effect of, 'mount ignitor box on alum plate' - took me a few minutes of staring, flipping, scratching my head, and mumbling "***" before I figure it out .... "ahhhhhh ... that's pretty simple enough."

Sorry - took these in the early morning sun. I'll get some more later with better light.

good to know it's comfy, it really looks the business.

They don't have a bunch of the MAS stuff listed, but he does have a bunch of it in stock. I had to make an email inquiry to find out what he had and the pricing.

Fair enough, but I don't know what products MAS makes - or even what MAS stands for. Do they have a website - I can't find one.

EDIT: I found them. :blush: Didn't know they were an Italian firm.

2) Low profile!
3) (looks) narrow!
4) VERY cool speed bump on the back!
5) Looks like it'll carry a passenger or a butt back position!
5) Sexy red piping
6) Sexy Italian

I'll take my custom seat cowl off the bike to put on one of THOSE!!!

OK - here's some more pics. It was great today with wonderful weather (70 deg) and I spent all day riding bikes. This one and two others. This one is running like ***** at low rpms - but that's another story. I only spent an hour on it - but the felt great the whole time. Of course, I would winding the throttle out the entire time as well. Only complaint I have is this - it's soooo low profile compared to the Thrux seat I have been riding - that it puts my knees in a higher riding position - I feel much like a horse jockey. I'm 6'00" and kinda long in the legs.

Fatrat - to answer a couple of your numbers
#5 - no, it's not going to carry a passenger. Hard fiberglass with a thin-gel type foam covering it. Inside the 'hunp' is where you have to relocate your ignitor box - it's that low on your frame.
#7 - $352.00 plus shipping, and I'm happy with the quality of product I received for that price. Very nice custom built stuff right here.
