I found the L seat c/s not customer focused/friendly. I just bought the Kawa Touring seat instead. I still take the corners with speed but just need a little more butt support for the long hauls. Tx. I had 18 BMWs over my 55 years of motorcycling and had 15 Bill Mayer/Long day saddle/rick mayer/bill mayor jr. seats. Great for touring very long distances >250,000 miles for me. But I have returned to the thrill of performance in motorcycles and cars (race Porsche) and hanging out on curve still races my aging heart. I will live until I die!!!
