I've currently got the superbike style tail on my bike and had nothing but problems with it. The holes where the seat mounts ream out and I've had to dodgy up washers and things to keep it from wearing through. I just noticed bolts that mount the seat have damaged my leathers from sliding over it. The tail is so beaten up I'm looking to replace just that peice of the kit. I'm seriously considering going back to the stock seat and road style tail, I don't really see anyone doing it, which is why I went with the sbk tail originally.

What are the pros and cons of doing it. I can't see there being a significant weight difference. The only thing I can think of is you'd sit higher up on the bike but that might actually be better. Obviously the bike was designed to sit at that height.

Has anyone here swapped from one type to the other? If so for what reason?

Cheers
Marty
