The verdict is that it's good, but the Sargent suits me better. I think the problem is I'm not normal at 6'4". 
I'm too tall, and I like a little more back & forth wriggle space.

I think it would be good for normal height riders, and it's definitely comfier than a standard seat over a longer distance.
It is quite firm, but then again good long distance seats (Sargent, Kahedo) are firmer than standard.

The design is good - quality leather, well stitched, there's no seam under your thigh (a neg point on the Sargent in terms of comfort for some), and the bum curve is correct for maximising the spread of pressure.

They supply a very simple bracket to attach the seat part to the bike with two allen key bolts so that's about 5 mins installation. The Smuggler pod part clips in under their seat bracket and is secured at the back by the normal BMW seat lock mechanism.

I can't say if the overall combi is a good fit since I couldn't fit the Smuggler pod without piddling about with the grab rails, but it's very well made, and is considerably bigger then the Sargent pod. It would hold all my tools and pump easily, which is a annoying. 



Removing 2" off my legs is going to cost an arm a leg and a leg, so I'll stick with my Sargent and a rear bag for tools, and pop this on eBay at some point soon.

Excellent. That looks quite the part!

You'll have to move those R&G protectors over though.
And is the screen different?

What I find is that it's amazing how fast you (well - I) fall out of love with the old bike - even though it's a perfectly good ride.

Down a dead-end road that runs to the banks of the River Severn.
It's a very small pub, but with a lovely lady running it (for past 30 years) serving home-cooked food.
And proper cider, but I couldn't touch that on a bike - waaay too dangerous!

As the website rightly shouts:
PORK BELLY COOKED IN LOCAL WESTONS CIDER NOT TO BE MISSED

And fried eggs from her ducks!

Opening times are a bit random due to size and possibly just a one woman band, but as of 2024 it's:
- Tuesday to Sunday lunch 12-14.30 hrs
- Friday/Saturday evenings

The lady said she is flooded 5-6 months of the year, so I'd say she's worth supporting.

View to the Severn from the huuuge parking area - that's about half of it gone already:

Yes, start one, and I'll join in!

Very nice! Wonder why they didn't bring more in?
It's like grey cars - why? Who goes 'Hmmm, I need a new car. But it's got to be grey.' 

And look at that intelligent radiator position/design - blanked at the bottom by using the belly pan.

You've really fallen on your feet - so to speak. 

Owwww. Owww, and oww again. That is very disappointing.
I'm glad you're all OK, though.

Good luck with the red one - the fastest colour, as they say.

Blimey you're catching me up fast. 35k yesterday.
