I have thought about that and have plans for an aero shaped saddle and soft aero seat bags. sadle bags are not a problem as they can be fabricated from aluminum and positioned close behinde the riders lower legs. The problem is that if I put somthing on the seat behind the rider then I cannot get on and off the bike in the normal way. When the bike is on the side or center stand I can step up on the foot peg and then swing my leg over what ever is on the seat behinde me. Do you have the same problem with you scooter/motorbike? do you have other suggestions? lowering the seat may be benificial in that it would also improve riding comfort as well as air drag reduction. for now I will keep improving on the original poor design until I have fixed all the easy stuff...
