    The seat cover is hand made . I think protection is needed ; as the rear seat costs 9000 .

                  CBR is Panasonic, R3 is Panasonic, Yamaha is Panasonic. I wonder why KTM skimped on such important part. I think Pranav Vikas manufactures radiators, fan plastic shrouds and the skeleton with which the fan motor attaches to, not the fan motor.
                  Kinetic Taigene is who manufactures the fan motor, so it's Kinetic Taigene who should be blamed, not Pranav Vikas if my math is correct.

                  Cheers!

                  Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                  The girl said, 'NO!'


                  And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                  THE END

                      Radiator fan quality is really poor, when i had duke fan was changed twice. Below is the condition of fan that is only 6 months old and it was not running at specific rpms.

                        And also, the new RCs have a better cushioned seat, can I use that instead of the one I have? (2015 RC)
                        While those ride on air ones seem practical, I dont want an external part being added(like how Its strapped on), but a cushier seat itself. If not the new seat, any way it can be done to the existing one?
