Never been on a pillion but they look good.
I made one on the G-special but that one is to prevent you fall off when you accelerate.
I made one on the AJS racer but that is a soft one for getting in raceposition and it is quite comfy...Chris

Cheers,

Thanks Simon, it gives me lots of pleasure, it's smooth and has a lot of power for a 1930 motorbike.

Wow! - beautiful bike Chris.
re the seat. I have one of these on the back of the Mk1, which has an awesome riders seat - like a big armchair. When on a bumpy road, the only sound I can hear over the motor is my wife swearing at me. I'm investigating the sprung version. I think they're pretty good for the purpose Chis has used them for. Useless for passengers.
