I see the problem.
You need to remove the footpegs. The stirrups swing back and forth (and in and out) plus their length can be adjusted too, so with the footpegs removed it's no problem getting to the brake and shifter.

Did you get that from Mr. T? How about a link. He does have brown saddle bags to match it...
Any chance we can get a pic of you sitting on it?
I tried to get someone to take the picture of me sitting on it, but the harder they tried, the harder their hands would tremble with laugter and in the end they would spook my mount!

I FIGURED THAT EVENTUALLY I WOULD FIGURE ALL THAT OUT, BUT FOR NOW I'm HOLDING ON TO THE SADDLE HORN WITH BOTH HANDS!

Sir, you are not even aware of just how complicated this problem really is. You see it's a CUBAN saddle. It was a birthday present from 1957 when I turned 8yrs of age. It was never intended to be used on a Honda motorcycle. You see, Honda bike models at that type were never around in Cuba. Now this former Cuban kid is still around as is the saddle, so it seemed to be the thing to do after purchasing a throwback CB!

Look, they told Edison that light idea would never work! Just you wait till I make the cover of those fancy bike mags. with my modified mount. We'll see who will be laughing then!

Leave your spurs at home.....don't need a flat tire do you?

Hilarious. But don't stop there. A bridle is needed.
Cheers.

Ptero,
He can install it like in that commercial. Just pull both back to slow down. "The whoa is optional."
RE: PROBLEMS ADAPTING A NEW SEAT - Hittheroad_imp - 05-28-2015
Great! Now PETA is going to get involved! Just don't whip it more than 30 times!
RE: PROBLEMS ADAPTING A NEW SEAT - Lord Popgun - 05-28-2015
PETA is right here in Norfolk. I live next door in Va. Beach. We call it People Eating Tasty Animals, or People Embarrassing the Tidewater Area.
