That's looking much much closer to original Pete, it's now lost that pumped pillow look from the first image.

Those photos I put over on the other post show the seat strap loose and not pulling the cover down at all so I was wondering if Honda just put more foam into delivered bikes to increase volume as compared to that bike which appears to be one of the first press bikes.

I do think you and Ash are right to try and get a very good seat as it is such a big visual part of that bike and with the huge effort you put in to all the other parts it will do it justice at the end.

Nice work.
