Mattsz, I might give the seat a try. I had ordered a Classic Comfort Solo Seat from Nfield Gear thru my dealer over 4 months ago and am still waiting. When they open on Tuesday I will have them change the order to a seat like yours. The gel pad sounds like icing on the cake. The long rides Bare and I go on are just too much for my big ass and the stock seat. I really like the look of yours. Thanks for the information !
Jack - is the Classic Comfort Solo Seat the one that mounts directly to the frame, without the coil springs? Just wondering. I wish I lived near you guys, so you could just try it out!
You ride a G5, n'est pas? As for the "old-fashioned" seat - according to the NField Gear site, "If you are installing this on a G5 please select the ELECTRA version". If I were you, I'd call and speak to Tim directly to make sure you get the right parts. The Old-Fashioned seat came with the brackets shown in the photo on the NFG site, which fit the B5,
mostly. See photo 1 below, and note the cracks in the paint where the front of the bracket bent to conform under the seat mounting nut.
The Deluxe seat came with another bracket altogether (see photo 2 below), which didn't fit my bike at all. I tried to fit that seat first, using that bracket, and it made no sense at all. Turns out the smaller brackets that came with the other seat worked on both seats.
Now that I'm having trouble fitting a rack that's supposed to fit my bike, I'm concerned that I need yet a different bracket. But that's another story... (
