After some deliberation,I finally bit for a Bagster seat. Hopefully it'll be a bit more comfy over distance. Might save me waddling about in gel cycle shorts,like I've papped me trunks. For anyone thinking of one,mine required a bit of fettling to fit the way I wanted. I've no use for a pillion perch,even though you get one,but if I wanted to use it,then it would need a lot more work to fit than the rider's seat. The two locating prongs on the rear are far too wide to hook under the subframe. A bit disappointing,considering it's not a cheap item.   |

luv it!
mine is the same way with the rear seat prongs. i can barely get it to fit. might try to file the edges of the seat retention tabs/prongs. also, i’ve heard this has happened before on bagster seat not 100% fitting correctly and people sent the seat back for an exchange or repair. nonetheless your new seat looks stellar on the bike.

Cheers ZM. I reckon the pillion could be made to fit,but since I'll not be using it,I doubt I'll fix it unless I'm bored some day!
I hesitated for months on the Bagster,I wasn't sure if I liked the looks,but I think I'll get used to it. The weather here has been rubbish,so I haven't even had a chance to try it out.

 I noticed u have the bulkie rear reservoir still on the bike,if u look are the pipe I fitted on mine.... Don't buy green pipe as the sweat..... I'll see if I still got a pic,but there is a post on here about the one I bought as I had an HRC and it was no good.... Easy to fit,just clamp the pipe at the bottom,wrap a rag around and take it off,then don't touch the break,put this on cut to the size ubwant it the put fluid in cap it and done.. wash the area just incase and ure done,looks much better.... |

The seat looks great Lee,much kinder on the bank account than a Bagster too! When the HRC rear m/c tube became all sweaty I went back to a rear reservoir,but a smaller Brembo one I had lying about. I made an alloy bracket and installed it,meaning to try the one you have now,but haven't got around to it yet. Maybe this Winter! I still have it on my ebay watch list. The smaller reservoir doesn't look too bad.  |

The reservoir from the h2 fits. Smoke color, so it hides...a little. Its not very expensive.

I was lucky,I got a bagsta seat for £100 off ebay both front and rear,like new.... So had no problems fitting it,but I have heard that they need a bit of fetaling to get them to fit.... On the rear Resivour I did away with it all together and fitted a tube,much better...  |
