XBR seat mod

[sledge21]

Well it started with my wife. She won't ride with me or anyone on a bike. Never would ride on my Harley and definitely won't ride on the Buell. So why have a rear seat. I had an extra rear pad and cowl and the photos are the results. Gives me a bit more space for minimal effort and cost.

Thanks fastxb. I'll take some more pics and post. My seat is just a stock seat covered in stingray. I found the stock foam to be acceptable for 100 mile hops so I just left it that way. I had it covered locally in Winston Salem NC. The mount is just a t hinge bolted to the cowl cover and to an existing mounting bolt in the tail cover. The latch bar is stock piece. I stripped the cover and foam from a stock rear pad cut the base plate and then epoxied it into the cowl . Gives you an nice place for the tool pouch or a rain liner.
