The gelcoat was thin and cracked right away - no surprise since you had to spread the "legs" of the piece to get it to clamp on the seat...and getting it off was a real bitch too. Not only that but there was no clearance with the side fairings so over time it would abrade the paint off of the contact points.

Thumbs down, IMO. Not worth the price or effort to get it here. The DP unit, althogh far from perfect is much better in all respects except the ree-damn-diculous price. I have the DP now and like it although it's gelcoat cracked as well. If I were to do it again I would buy either a Corbin or Sargent seat with the color matched tail area and cut the rear grab handle so the solo-seat idea is complete.
