As promised:
I got my K&H Solo seat in yesterday. I was a little annoyed when I checked the tracking and saw a missed delivery attempt just after lunch. My mail doesn't usually get delivered until after 4 and my wife is usually home. Well, we have an awesome mail lady who brought it back by at around 4, so I didn't have to drive down to the post office and get it.
I am absolutely blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. They aren't cheap, but you can take advantage of the weak yen right now. Takashi says this is only 3 mm taller than the stock North American market saddle, but it feels a little higher which is fine for me at 6'1". It doesn't make me scoot forward into the tank and my knees are more relaxed. I specified firmer foam for my 200 ish lbs. The tuck and roll makes the top a little more cushioned, but it is still nicely firm. I am liking it so far.

Hey, those are my mirrors! You can't have those.
Nice, aren't they? I really like mine, on my lower bars.
I feel a lot more like I do now than I did when I got here.

RE: the_undecider's mods and accessories
I received my Chic Design smoked handguards and Moriwaki skid pads the other day. I felt the sliders blended in a bit better than the various engine guards made for these. Basic tip over protection was all I was going for.
The hand guards really look neat. They match my Dart screen pretty well. They knock a good amount of wind blast off my hands so that I can wear my medium weight gloves with liners. Before, my hands were numb within 15 minutes at 50 degrees. The first test showed promising results for wind protection. It was in the upper 40's the other night. Wish my camera did a better job showing the colors in the sky.

Great minds think alike! I like them, too.

That is the Degner bag as you have found on webike. Also grom webike is the saddlebag support:

Wow, I realized how long it's been since I updated this thread. I have a different windscreen and exhaust on the bike.
