Seat mod and Cockpit management - cbfan_imp - 11-14-2013
Didn't like the forward lean to the stock seat, so pulled the cover back and took carving knife to the foam and lowered it a bit, to go with lowered seat installed lowering blocks on the pegs (from Takashi). To the cockpit installed thermometer, digital voltmeter, TPMS, throttle lock, foam grips, palm rest and risers. I do believe she is ready to go.

Can we get a closer photo of that cockpit of yours? Wanting to see how you have everything mounted up.
RE: Seat mod and Cockpit management - cbfan_imp - 11-14-2013
Since I'm using 1.25 back risers there is a step, that is where I mounted thermometer and TPMS (made a bracket mounted with tape) using 3M two face tape. The TPMS cover is alittle cloudy, I screwed up and got wax on the back side of it. Forward of the TPMS is 12v accessory socket.

I just put my Comet fairing on this evening and really like the clean look compared to NC deflector hardware clogging up my cockpit view...although it does shake just a little in the wind.

My fairing had a "buzz"/vibration at speed. I made a couple rubber spacers and installed between tach/speedo and fairing...............no more movement. They are small 'nough where you can hardly see them.

"lowering blocks on the pegs"
Tell us (or show us) more!

From Samuride/Takashi, good product. You have to do some modifications for them to be in the lowest position.
