    I think it's simply that pillion seat doesn't match ... I can't use a seat cowl either as I use a tail pack so need pillion seat

    +1 for getting the pillion done as well. I had mine done at the same time, just comfort foam on the rear though.

    Just emailed him about the pillion seat... I don't need or want comfort foam in it as I only use it for a tailpack ...

    The main seat has double comfort foam and a raised edge at rear to stop me slipping back too far.

    Any pictures of yours both on bike?

    A guy called JM seats on eBay ... A genuinely nice guy to deal with...

    The main seat cost me £70 delivered with double comfort foam and raised edge with choice of colour piping.

    He can also do gel at extra cost

    Not fitted them yet. They are staying inside in the warm for now as I have various bits off the bike. Will try to remember and take some photos of them fitted for you.

    Personally I think the white pipping would have looked better going down the side than across the back sorry

    Are yours for an 08> blade?

    The pillion seat looks a little odd...

    The piping is raised so that wouldn't have looked right in all honesty ... Closer picture here:
