First big ride out today 260 miles and what can i say numb bum after 70 miles and big neck ache,i a plus my knee,s dont hurt as much as the 12r
70 miles that's good!
Are these,s gel pads any good the thick ones about 45 quid on the bay
The best thing I did was to take my seat to Custom seats at Coventry...£250/£270 but well worth it. We rode down through France last year and did a smig under 500 miles and got off the bike ok, no numbness anywhere.
+1 for custom seat's. Rode down to Croatia and back last September, all good.
I guess its horses for courses, or in this case bums for seats. I did a round trip to Penzance from Southampton, last Oct, 450 miles in a day and got back with no ill effects at all on a standard seat
Similar for me, the most I ever did on my original 2008 GTR was 550 miles from home to Girvan in Scotland and back home again. I was tired at the end but didn't have a stiff bum.
