Looks like the IMG links in my previous posts needed to be updated with the domain name switch to 998cc.org. Everything should be back to normal on the original thread.

Might have something to do with the domain name change... Here's the URL again... http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-mods/19652-seat-concepts-fz1.html

Here's the thread that follows the seat's development... http://www.998cc.org/forum/gen-ii-mods/19652-seat-concepts-fz1.html Happy to answer any questions about it.

Also, Robert mentioned that he's ready to arrange a group buy. Who's in charge of that sort of thing? How have you worked that out in the past?

Jmundy: Seat Concepts is a very small operation. They're just getting a foothold in the adventure/dirt market because that's the scene they came up through. Most of the molds and backstock that I saw at the shop is KLR/DR/GS stuff. I chatted with Robert about their niche focus, and it's simply...

So yeah, I highly recommend this seat. I think anyone that's using a Seat Concepts product on any other bike will appreciate the feel of their foam in this application. The covers are put together really well too. I opted for a smooth vinyl, but I think they'll be offering the grip top too. I...

The seat is fantastic. Robert had set up his prototype with his harder foam. I took it for a spin but found it to be a bit too firm. The shape is great, but the foam "gave" very little. He set up my version with a slightly softer but progressive foam comparable to the stock seat. Though it...

Heading to the shop on Monday. Will report then.

The prototype is ready. They set this one up with the grip top and carbon fiber textures sides. I requested a smooth black vinyl top for my cover, so I'll be able to compare. I've been under the weather since Saturday, so I'm not sure I'll get the bike back out to San Jacinto until later...

Nothing yet. I'll check in with Robert today.

Just found these at "TheWolfTamer" Patrice's blog... theWolfTamer Chronicles: FZ1 Mod: Auxiliary Lighting theWolfTamer Chronicles: FZ1 Mod: Auxiliary Lighting Revisited I might give something like this a try. Anybody else done similar?

Been Googling more about this. Found a couple interesting things... The BMW K1600 has a self-adjusting lamp... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vNESfn3nYw Something from the Patent Office... Patent US20040246732 - Self-adjusting motorcycle headlight - Google Patents Guess I...

I've noticed during my night rides that the low beams on my FZ1 (Gen2) cast a good, wide light, but the coverage is really poor on the inside of a turn when I'm leaning even at a moderate angle. The coverage on the inside of the turn dives down into the shoulder maybe 10-20 feet ahead. It...

I've heard the helmet tap means your headlight is out.

Installed these Knight Design 1-inch Lowering Footpegs yesterday. I opted for the unfinished aluminum with their "Quadtrax" grip. Installation was a chore only because I had to grind off the riveted ends of the stock pins with my Dremel. After that, installation is a piece of cake...
