How did you like the seat? I like the look and am thinking of ordering.

I know I can email Mr. T and ask this, but are these seats available in different heights?

I like the look that's why i bought it. I like it well enough. I just need to get around to painting it. I've had it on my bike for 5 months. I rode the stock seat all last week and i missed the chic design seat so it went back on.

I believe so. I asked for 30" height and he said pretty much ok it will be 30". So i didn't ask further questions.

Also there are instructions, that are in Japanese, for a support bracket. It has pictures which are kinda self explanatory. I had my wife translate it and it was pretty much what i figured. You just remove a couple bolts put in the plate and use the supplied longer bolts.

I am about to purchase one. I ask Takashi about the K&H cafe seat and the height of the Chic seat. They can make it in tree heights: 30", 30.7" and a 31.3" height. I ask for a picture and if the foam density is adjustable for rider weight. Here is Mr T's reply:

Dear Marty,

K&H is developing a solo seat for the Deluxe now.
I think it will be ready by the end of year..

Regard to the Chic Design Sport trunk seat,
the seat height is 765mm/approx 30 inches.
But, we can adjust the seat height same as the US seat height 795mm/approx 31.3 inches.
(foam adjustment is not available. but, it is little firmer than the stock and comfortable)

We can also adjust the seat height as 780mm/30.7inches.
It will look similar to the picture at the website.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you very much,

Takashi

That is enough reason for me not to buy one.
