agreed, be careful what you change, I have had more than one bike where I made a mod that made sense when I was doing it but latter I hated it and either went back or wanted to. Keep the purpose of your bike in mind. for example, I used to have a SV100s that was setup to run great at the track, and it did, but it was not too great on anything that was not a perfectly paved twistie. Where as with my 78 750f it does great on the backroads where the SV would have sucked, and while I considered lowering it, I decided against this as it would affect how compliant it was on the backroads which is where I want it to live!! Same with the seat, while I want the cafe look, one of the fiberglass pans with a thin pad would look great but not function as well in my real world, so the corbin seat was a compromise, decent look with great function!!
