And anyway even with poor leg room its the best 4000 on the road (that will wake them all up)

Bloody hell Spaceprobe, no wonder yours was so good, I've never seen a 4000 before. Must have gone like shit from a goose mate.

I must admit I did buy it blind. Couldn't find one to test ride. Before the maxsym I had a joyride 200i, I did get a test ride on a second hand one the dealer had in, that seem to have more legroom but that's maybe because it never had a backrest.

Me too, I didn't even sit on the GTS300. Was easy to fix though, at least the bump is not built in! Had to also change the gearing, mirrors and screen...

Or you could look in Halfords or eBay etc for black rubber blanking grommets.

Blanking plugs or Trim pannel screws, or simple flush / button head bolt or screw if the holes in the seat are 'finished' - possibly by a plastic or metal ferrule...

I would try a blanking plug but the trouble is its just a hole in the vinyl of the seat horizontally going back towards the pillion with no backing or foam there

[Globs]

Haven't got a great photo of it but here it is, albeit rather obscured. You can see the edges are a little crinkly as the vinyl folds round to be stapled onto the back.

Thanks for that Globs
