Nice bike. Where did the seat come from? Stock/ (I don't think so) Aftermarket? How does it feel?

Thanks for the comments. No idea where the seat came from, obviously on the bike when i got it & no receipts in with the paperwork. I presume it came from somewhere in the States. It's really comfortable. The wife has lower back problems from a horse riding accident, so she can't sit for long on bikes...until now She sat for 3 hours last night without moving. This bike will be a keeper for sure.

If I can get in touch with the previous owner I'll ask him 'bout the seat.

Thanks for the "look see" into the seat/passenger set up. Might be of assistance to pull the drivers seat off to see if there is any manufacturers lables/names/ID to go on.

Great looking ride!

Not sure if that link works, but that's the speedo. MPH at the top & KPH at the bottom. The bike was a US bike, imported by a UK dealer & registered here new in 08. The Venture hasn't been made for the UK market since 2001. That's why i like it, not seen another one here like this one.

& yes the speedo seems accurate.

totally awesome

[alwrmcusn]

I'll have to follow all those other posts....that is the best looking seats/backrest I've seen on any bike!!

The seat was custom made to the previous owners own design by a company near him in the UK. Unfortuantely for you guys over the pond, you have to take your seat to the maker & work on the design together. He then sends you away with a temporary cover for a few weeks to make sure the padding is the right shape & comfort, then you take it back & he covers it to your design. www.saxonseats.co.uk.

So it's not an off the shelf seat, I'm afraid.

My "05" Midnight shows both MPH & KPH as shown in the above pic. Thanks for the seat info Treecol. Awesome design by the guy who did that.

The LCD is the KPH & MPH is painted on the glass.

I hate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the nicest looking seats I've seen......the rest of the bike is pretty also

[Royalstargazer]

I want that !!!! How can I get mine to work that way??? Anyone ?

 

I looked at my 05 RSV today and it has both mph & kph on the display. Its that way on all the other RSV that I know as well.

 

I know that the glass display is replaceable, since I took mine apart to see if I could change the color of the lights in the display. Of course you would have to purchase a used speedo to get the glass.
