from Detroit, MI Date Reviewed: February 10, 2009 Strengths: Very, and I mean very comfortable! What a world of difference this seat makes! Weaknesses: None at the moment, just recieved this seat. Been using it Only a couple days. Look wise the 143 is sleek, similar to the stock seat. 155 is a bit bulkier. Not much but its noticeable. Not that its a big deal, Ill take comfort over style any day as long as I don't look too goofy heh. I wouldn't consider this really a weakness, but it was something that caught my eye after putting it on the bike.
