Looks to me like they don't line up well with the handgrips you've fitted.
Also they won't function any better than the standard ones.
I think they look daft, but if they make you happy that's all that counts.

They line up fine maybe just the angle of the picture and I just thought they looked better than the standard ones

I like em. Black and red always looks good. Not a fan of the red seat hump though, from behind you would look like a baboon

If I was gonna change the seat I'd go for something like these, they look so comfy. Although I've got no idea about cost or where you would get them. You might find that you need to duct tape down the idle stop switch if you change the seat, depending on the seat and how you sit. No biggie though it just means the bike will think your always sitting down on the seat so the idle stop will always work.

Bad advice woolley. Very dangerous having the idle switch to stay on all the time as you suggest for obvious reasons

Duh I just realised I make lil sense as side stand cuts out the bike. If standing supporting bike though and its in idle stop mode you may forget and twist the throttle and bike will restart and take off if the switch has been tampered with to stay on permantly

That's a problem with the stupidity of the person, not the bike

Whenever I was standing with the bike I always made sure my hands were covering the brake anyway, and I would always turn it off before I got off.

I like the red levers, they go really well with the red theme of the rest of your bike.

Just in case anyone still looking for the black and white seat.
