So, What was it you disliked about the seat? from a purely visual aspect I think the stock seat looks nicer.

Wasn't 600 dollars better than my stock seat... Ass didn't go numb but did have some discomfort... You could see the rear seat bracket

For $600 it should have powdered your ass every 10 miles.
