He must be out enjoying that seat, that's the only reason I can think of that would prevent him from posting about the seat.

Sorry for the delay, couldn't get this thing on there soon enough and try it out.

First Impressions (I'll report back after the weekend and I get a few hundred miles on it):

It's a hell of a lot lighter than my bare bones, because the seat pan is plastic instead of metal. Feels solid though and shouldn't be a concern. Plus, less weight = more speed right... lol

The Biltwell seat feels flat where the BB was more rounded. Feels good so far, but will get some miles on this weekend to really know.

Lean and mean! This seat fits the frame. So it gets narrow up front and doesn't have any excess fat hanging around except in the back to keep you sliding off on accel.

It just looks "right" on your bike. Love it.
