Title: saddle/seat
Post by: knightraider on January 27, 2019, 05:55:42 PM
Hi All

I am wanting to change my saddle from the standard one to a customised one that is more comfortable for long distance riding for myself and wife.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what to buy and wherefrom along with photos of your bike with the saddle.

Tony Archer has been suggested to adapt my existing saddle.

Thanks.

Glen

My GTR came with a Topsellerie seat. I googled the label and it has gel front and rear. Thoroughly recommended.
