Actually, since a few months, I've swapped the Rayz custom seat with someone for a original.... just to be able to swap that one for an Kahedo (they come in 3 different tasts: this is the high one). Rayz seat was too wide at the front and in the middle: we had a bit of a misunderstanding 'bout my needs so he built a very comfy seat. Very good on long trips on motorway, but not for offroad riding.



here's the original as a comparison:

and I agree: the Kahedoo is a nice piece of work. It enables me to ride the Tenere more aggressive by moving way forward, adopting a MX/Supermoto style. I've asked to make it a bit more firm/hard then normal: can't tell if they did, but it sure is firm. Its cross section is round shaped at the front, so you can easily shift your but left-right, forward-backward, while flat, broad and less firm at the end, so a pillion would probably (not tested) be comfortable seated. I'm not such a tall guy (1m76) so now I actually have to climb the Ten (like it's a horse) while it's on the side stand. It'll take a few days to get used to the hight and how it affects the center of gravity of bike-rider combo. It'll bring your head out of the turbulence of the standard screen as a bonus.
