Review on Arashi(Version 2 Motorcycle & Powersports by Jake Hillyer

I wanted gold rear seats for my R1 and it was either these or $600 for some satos. They look exactly like the MGP Hot Bodies sold by Revzilla, Cycle Gear, STG etc which are more than double the price. The only difference is the stamp on the protective cover. As much as I hate buying Chinese rear seats, I bet they might be acceptable since the major bike retailers essentially sell them rebranded. It's not Woodcrafts or Vortex or any of the other expensive tail kits but the quality is decent in my opinion and the gold adds the shine I wanted. used Hot Bodies' diagram as a reference. Everything else is easy to understand. - The brake return spring sucks, but I was also able to wrap the OEM return spring so the rear brake works much better. - I had to trim the brake derailleur spring and really fiddle with it to make it work. The bracket that the springs are attached to is very flimsy, but I zipped it up to add strength, otherwise it doesn't work, it bends. I may replace it with a stronger mount in the future. You definitely get what you pay for, but for less than $150 and a bit of work and creativity, I'm happy with the end result. I had a hard time switching with OEMs, but their adjustability has now eliminated that. Road use was good. How they behave on the track only time will tell next season.
