Saddlemen Seat

My Saddlemen GP-V1 seat arrived. Install was straightforward and I think it looks great. I was surprised about the weight of it, I didn't weight it but at least twice the weight of stock. My initial ride impression of its comfort are mixed. I like the firmness and it has more grip than the stock seat. I don't like the front half being narrow and rounded. For me this kills the comfort. I'll take it out on a few longer rides to see it grows on me. I think the tightness of the material at the back of the saddle also reduces how far back you can sit slightly.

You might also be able to see the tabs sticking out from the back seat for my Kriega bags too. I had to modify the straps for them to fit nicely to this bike because space and attachment points under the seat are limited.
