Sort of, I did pester him but he also had several health problems so he’d realised that his biking days were numbered.
It actually did cost him much at all over 2 years.
Seat is excellent and I thoroughly recommend one if you can find one.
As you can see from the pictures, this seat I have recently removed from my 2012 865cc Bonneville. (Which is also listed for sale). As far as I am aware will fit all EFI models from 2007 - 2015 or possibly beyond.
