Er, no...but doubt you've ever had anyone come over and say "hey, nice bike" at all.

The Bonnie is a bike for traditionalists. You want to feel like you're in an arm chair? Buy a *** Goldwing!

I like it. Use it for touring. When I'm not touring I put the OEM bench seat back on. The bench is a lot better for riding the twisties and local riding. You can move around on it a lot more. Both is for me the best option.

I also think that the K&Q seat is ugly, but passengers like it. It's comfortable, and the only disadvantage is that the driver can't adjust his butt back and forth, which I like to do occasionally when I'm riding.

Since the seat is so easy to change, I keep the K&Q for passenger trips only, and use the solo (68) seat for my usual solo riding. I rarely use the original seat anymore, occasionally for a picture, because the K&Q is ugly and the solo seat doesn't look right with the sissy bar.

Thanks Critterdic, but, I beg to differ. I have had numerous compliments on my bike, as I'm sure you've had with yours. Different strokes for different folks and all... Have a nice day.

I think it looks good and it feels even better.
Way better then the stock flat ironing board of a seat.
And it looks much better then any of those ones with the big
ugly bump on the back of them.

I can't see the seat when I'm riding. I took the K/Q off once in 20000 miles and put the stock board on for 200 miles...the stock board is now in the attic where it belongs. Ditto what someone else said about the tail-bag fitting the K/Q perfectly. I use the Cortech tail-bag often and it fits very good on the K/Q.

And I use the "Iron Rider" overnight bag on my K/Q seat. This bag has 2 large velcro straps that go around the high sissy bars perfectly.

I don't think the K&Q seat looks bad at all. Here's what it looks like when I tour. Notice how soft and comfy it is for those long long days.

I can't say it looks better or worse from the stock seat. It does look "different". From some view angles I like it, from others not so much. It is however, more comfortable.
