Title: cures for a slippy seat
Post by: 2kwacks on December 27, 2011, 10:11:15 PM
a few months ago I bought a pair of new R.S.T textiles. but have only used them on the gtr which I have a kawasaki gel seat fitted, so the grip was fine ;D but the seat on my zzr1400 is a corbin seat and it's made of leather. my old rev'it textiles had a leather arse patch and the grip is a lot better. the R.S.T  textiles have not >:( took the zzr1400 out for a spin today and used the R.S.T textiles, every time I opened the zzr1400 up I could not change gear because I needed to hang on for dear life due to me sliding down the seat :( I could buy a grip cover but that would spoil the look of the seat >:( so any suggestions on what to use to make the seat less slippy. someone said use "milk" but surely that will make my arse stink more than it allready dose ;D

Try using double sided tape. It will hold you more firmly than the milk idea and your arse wont stink aswell !!! :-\

that's not a bad idea! I was thinking of winding down anyway ;D also won't need to buy as many rear tyres, and it would be kinder to the environment :) but there is a down side :( I would loose my streetcred ;)
