Bits and Pieces

I'm sure I could search, but this is so much easier... what seat is that? Oh, and what are the thingies over the grips that make the grips thicker?

The seat is one of many high quality, hand made, expensive, custom seats made by K&H and available from Samurider.com. Expect 4 to 5 weeks lead time and $600 plus, not including shipping. These are exceptional quality but lead the field in price.

Back in April and May of this year, there weren't a lot of after-market seats to chose. It's much different these days and you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good seat. This forum is your friend.

The Thingies: Honda brake and clutch levers end in a ball shape. Honda offers what they call a Cap A lever, part number 95010-16001, 1 each, for about $2.99. It's basically a hollow rubber ball shaped thingie that you slide over the ends of each lever as a finishing touch. (install is a pain).

Honda bikes in the 70s and 80s came with these tiny little caps. Good for an additional 5 hp.

They don't do anything for grip thickness. Some of us have purchased grip buddies, or flexible slip-on's, or thicker aftermarket grips.
