Single Seat Cowl

I do prefer the look of the Ricambi Weiss. However, the full seat pad on the other one caught my eye. That, and it is a fast swap between the stock seat and the solo seat, since the stock cowl remains in place.
No doubt the price difference is substantial. I had the opportunity to buy the one in the photo used, for a discounted price. However, to look its best, it would need the paint redone, as well as the seat stitching. So, in the end, the money stacks up. I could likely start with the Ricambi Weiss, have it painted, and have a proper seat pad made for it and still come out ahead.
Easier to use the 20mm adhesive pad, rather than have an upholstery shop do a proper seat, but I can't imagine the 20mm pad being very comfortable for a long ride!

I feel a lot more like I do now than I did when I got here!
