The K1600 has a very comfortable standard seat.





Well you did ask!

im selling a " Top Sellerie " seat in mint condition for £180 a few of us on here have got them and its considered to be the best seat this side of the pond.

The russel all day long from the states is considered the best but very expensive and they wont ship to the uk

Any idea of postage costs?

Ant, Sergeants are good but most of the Americans prefer the Corbin, the Laam is better and the Russell is the ultimate.

Thanks for that Boomer, Sergeant appears to be the only one who has a proper UK distributor. From reading around the different reviews it seems that all of the aftermarket saddles have people who love them and ones who hate them, I think people probably just have a backside that suits different brands!

The Baldwin also gets good reviews but for that money I'd have the Russell. Love the Russell on my GTR1000 and regret selling my Russell for the 1400. Never mind, will get another one soon :-)

having suffered from numbarse myself after 150miles or so i had a revelation.  i set my suspension to soft. hey presto! i've just done a 180mile trip and no issues.

might be worth a twiddle before splashing out
