Massive thanks to Tallpaul for taking my spare seat (purchased from User650) collecting it from him and dropping it off at Tony Archer for me.
Hopefully I'll be riding on a comfy seat very soon.

It's about time. I'm not sure you need one, it's not as though you ever travel any further than the confines of the M25 is it?
Did you pay User650 in chipshop gift vouchers?

I know ... perhaps I should attend more ride outs to put some mileage on the bike.
Apparently the agreement with user650 is that I must go to Whitby for Fish and chips every weekend with him for the next ten years so he can stamp his card

Did someone mention fish and chips?
No worries about the seat, mate! Always happy to help.

Has he removed the slope that inexorably pushes the plums into the tank after a few hours?

How much £80 still? Is the pillion seat smaller? I might get mine sent in while I'm in Italy

It was £80 (Bargain) .... The pillion seat is smaller which is what I requested, it allows me to shift back a bit to straighten my legs.

That looks the business. Enjoy.
We're all craftsmen in Yorkshire it seems.
