Tried my standard Kawasaki gel seat today.
As you say a bit firm and you feel every little bump so time will tell I may leave it on for the meet.
A question I have is Has anyone had to tweek ( just bending the angle ) the locking bracket as mine seems a bit loose and can lift a bit by the catch all underneath looks the same as my standard so thought I would ask.
The only difference I know is the seats of a 2008 / 2009 mine is a 64 plate.
before Mr Wolf slags off Kawasaki  :whistling:

they are the same seat and attachment, as your 64 bike.

The seat shouls snap down tightly so make sure the gel seat us snapping firmly into place

Thanks for that O.C.
I thought they would be the same but wanted someone to confirm I think the locking catch may need tweaking to secure properly.

the OEM seat on my latest model is itself a different design/shape, but I suspect it will still be the same fittings   :yes:
