What kind of bench seat is that - a cub / passport replacement from eBay? How did it fit?

I ordered one to replace the rock-hard Carter brothers bench but didn't have a chance to install it before the bike was stolen. One day I'll have another Symba and will put it to use...

The seat is a Cub/Passport seat.

Someone did a one off group buy for the extended luggage rack for the Symba because the stock seat ensures that you�re riding on a piece of metal tubing or your knees are fully tucked in under the leg guard.

I have some high density foam double-sided taped to the bottom of the Honda seat so that it isn�t scraping along the top of the gas tank.

Are those extended racks still available anywhere?

Thanks, will keep an eye out. Just picked up this Symba for $700. Pretty great price and a good bike for my wife to learn on. Battery was dead but kickstarted right up.

So far so good. Changed the oil and cleaned it up this weekend. Starts and idles fine but putters a bit when giving throttle so will take a look at the carb. Also want to take a look at the chain.

I reached out to the OP in the Sym rack thread who was kind enough to give me the contact info for rack supplier in Taiwan. Will see if they have a rack lying around that they'd be willing to ship...
