bmw 1600 GTL

hi,,
motorcycle seats are very subjective depending on each ones butt design & density! and BMW is known to put some notoriously harsh seats on its otherwise wonderful bikes, personally for me this is the first stock seat ever on a BMW that I found very very comfortable for long rides unlike all the stock seats on other BMWs that I have ridden. My personal 1200GS recently went thru a steep US$ 600 upgrade with Russell Day Long saddle, but IMO that’s one of the best aftermarket touring seats that money can buy and the stock GTL seat is fairly close to my Russell. My long haired general also found the pillion seat on the GTL way more comfy than the stock seats of the 1200RT or 1200GS. Since we rode in sub-zero temperatures in many parts, the heated seat (together with the heated handgrip) was like a blessing sent down from heaven and made a huge difference in the chilly weather. It has a lo & hi setting for seat heat, but we had to leave it on the hi to get tangible benefits. BTW, the seat heat can be individually controlled for the rider thru the dash board & the pillion thru a switch on the pillion seat.

Well done; it looks great! A very pretty bike. What products/process did you use? How long did it take? Any before shots? It looks pristine! I had to take a look at the speedometer to see if it even had any use on it. I see the slight discoloration on the exhaust but otherwise no stone chips, etc.
A friend of mine has either the GT or the GTL, I can't remember which. For a full dress tourer that is a FAST bike. 160 hp from a 700 lb machine. It flies.
