    Do you have a picture of them on your bike? Can't see much on their website. Thanks.

    Mounting your Tracer

    I had mine lowered, but I had the Yamaha comfort seat fitted so I think the seat height is about the same. I guess that's not quite what you were looking for but it definitely made a difference to my backside! :)

    Wash and dry

    I usually use MotoMuck cleaner. I have a pretty good compressor in the shed so blow it dry with the long air nozzle, try not to do it so people can see me though!
