Several of you have sent your seats to Seth Laam. What differentiates his work from the other seat vendors?

It is primarily the lean of the seat. I kept having to readjust as I slid forward and crammed myself against the gas tank. I little more give and sculpting would also be nice.

Took my Super Tenere on my first 200 mile trip yesterday. Arlington Texas to Dublin Texas and back. I wore jeans and sat on my stock 2012 seat. Any advise on making the seated position more comfortable?

Thanks for the video! That's how mine sounds. Now I know what normal sounds like.

Temperature

Thanks guys. I just wasn't sure what to make if it. Metal spanners bouncing down a metal staircase. I love that. I will embrace the sound and look for unusual sounds lasting for more than a few seconds after starting.

Ultra NooB question. I bought a used 2012 S10 a few weeks ago with less than 1000 miles on it. I love the bike, but am not sure if the engine noise is normal. I've never heard another S10 so I could be over cautious. What is it supposed to sound like?

Has anyone had experience with solobox panniers? They look nice and the price of $340 for a set is tempting.

Madhatter, I live in Arlington Texas. Thanks for the welcome!

Is there a drawing of the filler panel that you would share?

So a pillion is a passenger? That is so weird.

So sorry for your mate. Safety is a good thing.

Thanks again guys. Zip ties on the spokes? I remember using wire on my spokes back in the mid 70s. Now zip ties? That's even better. I love progress.
