Lower, more streamlined, handles bumps and ruts better AND it looks great. Definitely worth the 75 bucks. Well done! 👍

No worries it does look good! Cheers
I think as you have modded Dug he has become progressively lighter. The seat is such a subtle element but creates a transformation in the look of the bike bordering on profound. He looks much more muscular with the change.

Thanks, it does look a lot smaller leaner and more proportioned with this seat on in my opinion!
That looks really good mate.

Thanks Daniel, i was really happy with it! 😀😀
Did it turn into a 2 cuppa job ☕☕ lol.... Much less bulky & looks good to boot, having the diamond stitch gives it that bit extra style (rather than plain). Thanks for sharing m8 : )

Dont you know it 🤣🤣 to cups and a bit of muttering!!! Cheers i love it think its great 😀😀🤔
Looks great with the chrome. I've changed the seat on my 500 twice... It IS more trouble than you think it will be. I bought a couple of seats through an Indian company that just did not fit... irritating. I finally bought a hand made leather seat from BAAK in France. Appallingly expensive but fits perfectly. The OE seat is really uncomfortable. My BAAK is far better. Yours looks like it will be even better with the front pivot.

Yes i was more time consuming than i thought! But im super happy how it came out. The front pivot allows the springs to work better and it isolates me from even more vibrations. There are some nice seats from india but i was worried about their quality. Glad i went the route i did. Sounds like you have yours sorted now! Cheers
Great look! One of the first things I did with Badger is put a new seat on. I went for a springed Sparazo tan leather seat, It definitely reduced the vibrations going up my fat arse :)

Nice video iRide, thanks, I'll wait for the test ride later then ? :) took the RE Interceptor for decent test ride on Thursday, great value for money bike, seriously tempted now, I did have sit on the Classic 500 but found the pegs a bit too far forward for me.

Yeah i thought video was long enough without a test ride. Im so keen to test thd int650 or gt650 think they would be awesome! Hmm i should go and ride one!
Love it! By any chance, can you measure the spacing between the two screws where the springs are attached to under the seat? Most seats have a 17.5 cm spacing, where the bike originally has 21.5cm approx. I wonder if it would fit anyway?
Yep, looks good.

This bike started as a low budget motorcycle from a bygone era. It's now worth about 43,592 Dollars :Approx. Just joking buddy, you've done Dug proud.

Yes!!! Was trying to reverse engineer from internet photos! You’re a legend! The hole you drilled for the front swivel, did you drill all the way through and put a bit underneath? Thanks

I'm keen on getting RE 500. I'm a short arse, 800 mm seat could be a worry for me. Do you know if the seat can be lowered. BTW great series, very informative.
