No takers, really? If I don't sell it there's always the chance I'll end up attaching it to another V and I've already bought and sold 3 '08s.....nicest bike I never seem to ever stay with. Lowered to $300 plus shipping, if no takers I'll just tuck it away.....
My major beef with the stock seat is the forward slope. Does this Gel seat cure it ?? I don't find the stock seat too high, but I'm 6 in my socks.
When I bought one to see if my wife could ride my Versys (vertically challenged), I remember it being much flatter than the stock seat. So IMO, no it did not slope into the tank. Also the material is a bit more grip than the stock material.
After my wife was still unable to ride it, I sold mine. Hope this helps!
I've shipped over 6 seats using USPS Parcel Post with tracking # and insurance the prices ranged from $17.00 to less than $25.00. Fed-Ex wanted over $50.00
Didn't think I would miss the V after 3 months but I have a case of seller's remorse so for now the seat is off the market until I find a replacement, either a Versys/Vstrom/NC700x.
