As long as you have some method for securing the seat pad to your body. You won't want it coming loose and sliding down onto the street.
You could always glue velcro to it to secure it about you body. Would be the heck out of newspapers and plastic we used in the 60's. Man was I young and dumb back then. Sigh!
...now I at least try to 'be prepared'
"Newspaper: don't leave home without it."
3. need more light , thinking of going with 70watt low beams with 14g wire thru a relay and maybe 55w HID for high beams [ Most of my riding is on high traffic 2 lanes and I rarely get to use high anyway] I'm having a little trouble finding higher wattage h7's that aren't some kinda funky blue color ,.i don't want any LEO attention
Well i changed out my headlight bulbs , not that impressed . I like the whiter tint to the bulbs [ '5000k' ] but they didn't seem to be any brighter or have any more range than the stock parts. Having a tinted coating probably negated the higher wattage.
I may well go with an HID conversion ; ddm tuning has their kits on sale for $50 with a lifetime warranty.
I put HIDs on mine and cant believe the difference, Ive tried the all sorts of other uber bright bulbs in the past and they all left me dissapointed. HIDs are the best and the price is right.

Most of the battery powered vests i have seen are $80 and up
I had a wreck last weekend on my 2007 Bandit 1250s.
I was at speed in a nice curve going about 60 and saw the guy in front of me do a quick juke and point down, by the time I looked back down hit the BRICK in the rode and went straight off of curve. Flew about 20 yards. Nothing broken just aches and pains. But the bike well, I have taken off the front cowling and cowl brace along with the radiator. Bike landed on right side in mud and ripped the whole right side fairing off and bent radiator.
I am thinking of going cowless with one large headlight or two smaller ones with a small wind screen.
Anyone know what lights would work (as in easiest to install without so much wiring I hang myself with it). Or have done the naked/street fighter look?
I’ve tried to search forum but haven’t come up with anything.
I know one guy has done this on here on his red Bandit but can’t remember hi name.
Help is appreciated as I want to get her back up and running ASAP.
