Very nice looking! Wish that they had a place over here in the States.

That looks really comfortable. I bet you cannot wait for the snow to go.

We start riding in Denmark at midnight tonight. The weather forecast for tomorrow is...wet...what did you expect?

How much was the Bagster, excluding post?

I look forward to what you think of it.

You bet I can't wait to ride! But I have to wait a few days, the weather is bad. :( I payed 350 € for the seat. I went for the seatster, because sending my seat to France and back would be more expensive.

Mine has the same height as the stock seat but you can order it lower or higher if you need.;)

Looks awesome:thumbup:, I'm looking myself to get custom seat and so far I'm trying to decide between Bagster and Top Saddelry..... Looking forward to hear your opinion on Bagster.

That definitely just became my favorite looking seat...whatever happened to the review on how it rides?

Sorry, I kinda forgot about this.
It is more comfortable than the OEM seat, It's very firm, has better contouring. The fabric is non slip too.
I did a beautiful tour in the Italian and Austrian Alps this summer. The first two days were each about 500 km, and I made several stops, to get off the bike and give my ass a break. But by the end the each day I was really uncomfortable. The third day was shorter, around 350 km, with some breaks, so I had no discomfort. The fourth day was a 750 km day, that combined mountain passes and highways to get home to Slovakia. Breaks were short, mostly to fuel up. This was really hard and at the end of the day I did not know how to find my place on the bike. So the verdict is that the Bagster is a good improvement when compared to the stock seat, but it does not work wonders. You could say that your ass will last 1,5 - 2x as much as with the stock seat. And for me it really looks great which made the investment worth it. But I still have to say that I was a bit disappointed, as I was expecting more improvement to the comfort.;)
