On my GP I had one of the thicker small ones with the plates that allow it to sit behind an ancilotti type seat think I was stainless from AF Rayspeed I thought it looked well

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

I think this is the chunkier looking one but I think it looks fine. Wrapped in Far Eastern newspaper so Im guessing thats where it came from :)

At least I have the decency to remove the Viet newspaper before sending them out. :lol:

I've got 2 slightly different versions of the one above plus this one....

I got mine through KB paintshop back around 2002. Can't remember if they fabricated it or had someone do it for them. The far eastern one must be a copy. It does look chunkier than mine.

regarding these seats...Ive only had this on for about 30miles and Im noticing that Im getting a serious case of the vibrating eyes! Im guessing that the old dual seat had enough spring in it to damp the engine vibration out. This one doesnt and its proving a real problem! I take my weight off the seat and the whole world becomes clearer :) It would be a shame to go back to the old seat because the Ancillotti does look the nuts. Anyone else have this problem, or is it common place??
