I've been looking into getting a top Sellerie seat, but need some confirmation from the suppliers first

Its very difficult to contact them via email without resetting google mail, which I don't want to do, and to order from Amazon is a bit problematic as I'm not sure their seats will fit a 2015 model GTR also ordering through ebay isn't any easier as it is extremely difficult to specify extra gel padding on the seat before committing to a purchase.

I'll just have to see if I can contact Top Sellerie

In about 3 weeks time I'll be able to give a 5000 mile review of this:

Cheaper than a new seat :yes:

Afraid it was a wasted £25 for me, couldn't get on with it at all. When it wasn't moving about!!! It wasn't any more comfy than the seat (std Kwaka) without it on.  :sad: :sad: :sad:
I came, I saw, I rode off....

I have a top sellerie seat and have had it for three years, it's a touch harder than standard but for me it's perfect.  Same height as standard for long legs like me.

I spoke with the chap from motor bike seats today, he told me that they are also agents for Top Sellerie, and whilst the Top Sellerie seats are very good he recommends their own seats which are used by police forces on their bikes

I'll have to consider what to do.

The seat on my GTR isn't exactly uncomfortable but it could be better, and after the 500 mile round trip this last weekend I feel (or my arse does) that something with more comfort would be better

Have you tried Tony Archer in Huddersfield?

I'd give my Top Sellerie about 7/10. On my trip to Sorrento last year I found it kept pushing me into the tank, which is fine for a quick blast, but on long trips I like to stretch out a little, towards the back of the seat.

Tony Archer is very good he uses the original seat base and then modifies the cushioning to suit, I wanted a complete seat so that I can retain the original OEM seat   :yes:

You could buy a second hand seat on Ebay, have Tony recover it to your exact requirements and still have change out of £200 :-)

Debs has a base unit for the seat, no foam or cover but you could build something from the base up, give her a shout.

Make me a sensible offer.
