I would imagine it would conform to the shape of the seat eventually, as nitrile likes to reshape itself. I'll post back any findings in that regard, and hopefully my bike will still be in my (working) possession in a year for a full report, if these crazy Kannapolis/Charlotte drivers don't smash it up for me.

On a side note, I'm a student at UNC Charlotte, and someone had the audacity to steal my oil plug! That was nice to find at 8:00 at night after a 14 hour day...hopefully they won't steal the entire bike!
Nice edit. That'll make it much easier for the reader.

They stole your oil plug??? WTF?! I could see maybe stealing the cap for the oil filter if they are some kind of Suzuki fan but the oil plug? I'd be afraid someone had put sand in there or something and just not bothered to put the plug back. Got any angry ex's?
No, no angry ex's. They stole the oil plug. Not the filler plug on top, but the actual plug on the bottom. I had a puddle of oil under my bike and no oil plug to contain it. I had to call my buddy to give me a ride to ridenow powersports in concord before they closed at 9 so I could buy a plug and 2 quarts of oil. I just changed it two days before with Shell Rotella T6 synthetic. Whole ordeal cost me about $40. Needless to say, I became extremely intoxicated that night. :bong:
