Hi all, I've took the plunge and ordered a gel lowered seat from Top Sellerie. I need the lowered seat as I am (ahem) 'vertically challenged'. Not such a problem but difficult holding bike steady whilst her indoors climbs aboard. I will post a review on the seat when it arrives. Price seems reasonable, but i'll reserve judgement on that until i've tried it. Its black with blue stitching and a GTR 1400 logo. Fingers crossed.

I've had mine a while now and I can honestly say its the best seat I've put on any bike, I love it!

Don't think you'll regret it :clap:

They are in France. You design the seat yourself, choose whether to have new base or send your seat to them, they make it, send it back. I chose to have new base so I would keep original. Cost €400 with postage, approx £320

Nope didn't do gel seat, and glad I didn't had gels before and not been impressed. The standard Sellerie seat is great, and I'm no lightweight either at 6'3" and 16st.

I know what you mean by gel seats. I don't seem to gel with them either.

Does this seat crush your nads against the petrol tank? (yes, this is a serious question!)

after having a gel seat made for me bu the great tony archer and finding it more uncomfortable than a stocker i vowed not to have another. 20 mins riding and it was irritating me v 2 hours on my stock.

Some of the high end seat guys in the states and all advertising cell foam ( not memory ) as the best substance
The best seat ive seen in terms of reviews and reputation is Russel all day long.

Corbin names is shite in the states, their poor service and hard seats and legendary

:mfr_lol: I know exactly what you mean!! and no because they are gently scooped up toward the tank, so you can still move around the bike, but you dont get 'nadslap' when you brake hard.

Hi,my seat arrived today.Looks great,fits well,and I,m impresed with the quality.I,ve had 4 seats done in recent years,and this is probably the best yet.I had a standard seat,no gel(tried them before,not for me),no heating,with green lettering and stitching.Compliments the green paint work,and feels comfy. Can,t try on the road yet,but will get out asap.keep you posted.

Well, seat arrived. Looks great and fits well. Only had a short ride, two-up, and we both think it's comfy but that has yet to proven. Quality seems top notch. I'll post pics when it stops raining (maybe next May LOL)
