Not - I wanted a change.

Well, as I put on the site, the biggest problem with the pillion 
modification is only encountered if you have the cowl. Sargent has to angle 
the seat if you keep the cowl and that will cut down on passenger comfort 
(of course it will still be better than stock), but for the few miles that 
my wife has been on the new seat, I think she is very happy. I actually 
went with a little extra foam in the pillion area and will modify the cowl 
to fit the lines of the seat. She rides with me so infrequently that I had 
to weigh my own wants against her complaints and hopefully I have achieved 
some middle ground that will make us both happy.

Keeping my fingers crossed.....
