Had my daughter hold the 1/4" rachet while i loosened the old and tightened the new. It only cost me lunch, well worth it!

I shaved/reshaped my saddle and had it recovered. I’m very happy with the feel and look.

Thank you very much SANDMAN and 58jdn58, I appreciate that! I did shave and shape the saddle myself but I had a local automotive upholstery shop do the cover. I like the look and feel of a riding a low profile saddle. It makes me feel more settled in and in better control.

Thank you very much Birtyyy, I appreciate that! It’s definitely a big difference from the stock seat! There really isn’t much of anything on the market for the 2018’s low profile
