Step up is ordered... hopefully better than the stock butt and back killer!

Installed step-up went for a short ride, it’s rock hard but obviously brand new, need break in time. Nice seat.

Heritage with Step-up, just because there are not many photos online. Love the seat.

yes, and you are very well planted. No worries to really grab the throttle.
