That looks great. Super sharp.

How do your like the saddle? Any idea how to order one from across the pond?

The technique is called Water Transfer Printing. Wasp was right.

Others have asked me the same question. The saddle is part of the Explorer Edition which the European Yamaha office (located in The Netherlands) produces exclusively for the Dutch market. The cannot be bought as an aftermarket piece according to my dealer, only when you already have an Explorer Edition you would be able to have them replaced by Yamaha Europe when damaged.

Looking good, Bloke. I think I prefer the way that partial heat shield that Blue eyes has covers the gap below the aft part of the seat the frame though. Could look different to the naked eye though, so I'm not totally certain on that.
