Just put on this evening and so far am very pleased.
It feels great compared to the original seat. I can see
much seat time without feeling uncomfortable in my future.
Its getting better all the time but the best is yet to come.

Moa. Moaha.. Mooahahahahahahaha!!!

Looks good with the seat and rack - very British. Is you headlamp shell painted black? If so, the turn signal/tail light might give a nice appearence black as well.

Dude, it has been raining for something like 27-28 days straight...

I finally get my bike all running good and I haven't been able to ride more than a couple miles around town...

y'all are getting pounded for sure. I was living in Cinti the year the Ohio flooded. Just brutal. Funny part was, it never really rained that far south. All the water came down from the north. Crazy.

Thank you David. The bucket is painted.
Will be changing out the lights soon.

single seat and rack

I'm new to the site - recently bought a T100 and we are still getting to know each other. So far, I am very happy. Your solo seat and rack look hot. I've been thinking about the same, but wondering if the seat height is now higher?

Great mods! That's why they call you "The Working Man".

Solo Seat Experiance and some mods

Agree that the Solo seat is a vast improvement to the stock [in my case, Scrambler] plank.
To overcome the vibration & lack of rack strength, I have had two flat bars welded to the subframe & fitted 4 long screws that bolt through the bars into the upright bars of the rack.
For longer journeys I have hard a larger rack made.
For pillion passenger using the small rack I have had a small velcro pad made.
