I'm finding the stock seat uncomfortable after 45 mins of riding. Any ideas of custom seats and are they any good??
Top Sellerie seats are good
Tried the kawasaki gel seat and found it to hard.Now have a 2016 kawasaki standard seat and happy with it. :clap:
I have the Kawasaki low gel seat and although it is quite hard it is more comfortable than the stock.
I also don't get pushed forward like I do on the stock seat.
I have a Top Sellerie and have no issues at all, good investement.
i have the Top Sellerie seat too and love it, BUT the wife doesn't like it she prefers the original one there appears to be a seam at the back, I might see what I can do to smooth it out, either raise my original one with a gel insert or tweak the back of the Top Sellerie
Top Sellerie..all day comfort for my derriere :clap:
I'm going for one from Custom seat at Coventry. We had one on the Pan 1300 and it was brilliant....I find the original seat a little hard after a while.
Don't know what happened there...came up as a double post.. :whistling:

+1 for these, had one on my Blackbird, Pan 1300 and now the GTR, many miles of comfortable touring for me and the pillion.......BUT......seat's are like, helmet's, screen's, tyres..and women, it's an individual taste in the end :yes:
Wich top sellerie model is best for the passenger ? She cant stand the original one more then one hour ... Then starts hurting cause too hard ,
much worse then the ex-bmw on this issue. (For her, not for me :laugh:)

Gill tried it on the pillion seat, and was impressed.
It is important to get one with the correct fitting, and then experiment with inflation
Yes we are still talking about Airhawk :mfr_lol:

I have been experimenting with inflation for years!
I'm not surprised to eventually hear you admit that Pete :mfr_lol:

Mrs B wears padded/gel cycling shorts for long rides. Worked for her going to Loire valley and Austria.
Tony archer seats Huddersfield does a fantastic service
He fitted a proper gel pad lowered it an inch and recovered it all in for £140 quid
Very very happy
I'm lucky Custom Seats at Coventry is about 15 miles from me.... I'm taking my seat to him after this next bank holiday.
Would anyone be interested in my Kwack gel seat? :whistling:
