    Went through 2 days of torrential rain - the horns have no problem with it (IP67).

    Wunderlich Bobber with Jekyll & Hyde ;-)

    It’s not much, max. 2 inch (5 cm) higher, no problem to « reach ground » while seated for anyone taller than 5.4 ft (1,65 m).

    Wunderlich Bobber with Jekyll & Hyde ;-)

    Saddle is pretty comfortable - I did 8,000 km around Italy & France last August-September….. could go 3-4 hrs without stop (and pain in….. 🤣)
