That's one of the best looking 2 up seats that I've seen...definitely sleek and clean looking unlike some of the other bulky ones.
24v, what part of SD are you in? I was born and raised in SD, lived in Santee most my life but after HS I lived in El Cajon and worked at Rose Toyota, City Chevrolet then onto La Jolla Auto Body...this was back in the 90's of course haha

Got a few things finished up... moved the plate to the rear axle with a bracket from eBay and remounted the right side tail light with a short stand off so it would match the left side. The chrome plate frame is from Custom Dynamics. It's got a row of LED's along the right side. All of the 1157 bulbs have been replaced with LED's from Custom Dynamics too. Since I had the rear fender all apart I also stuck Custom Chrome's fender lip tail/brake light under the fender too.
It's tough to see in these pics, but the air filter is a Ness Stage 2 Big Sucker and the pipes are Freedom Performance's "Amendment" model. The computer got squared away with a Dynojet from Fuel Moto.
It's funny because with stock one, I always making sure that my butt is far enough forward when romping the throttle
Yesterday was the opposite. I had to keep reminding myself to scoot back.
If you are needing to reposition yourself before applying throttle, there is something wrong in your seat-to-handlebars positioning. You should not need to "move" before taking action.
That's why when I ordered my Corbin seat, I specifically asked for the driver position to be moved forward 1 inch. Now, I can comfortably hold the bars full-time with zero strain, and to apply gas, I just twist the grip - no movement or bracing required, because the "hump" that prevents rearward sliding is right where it should be.
Here's what my setup looks like:
