And i like it !! the backrest part is about 2" back farther then the stock seat bump and the stitching looks great .
seating position is a bit lower then stock so you loose about 1 to 2 inches in the storage compartment but i like the feel of the lower seating .

Great looking seat, where are you from and how long did you have to wait for the seat to come in the post ?

The seat looks thicker too, probably more foam.
Can you still fit a helmet under the seat? Can you take a pic of the underside of the seat?

That does looks good....Originally was thinking one but used to the hump now - sort of.
Does it have a rubber seal to stop water ingress into the under seat compartment? Read that ppl have to add some rubber to seal them.
Cheers.

I need to do that to my stock PCX -- I get water under the seat if I ride through heavy rain.
