Ditto - and any ride reports

Followed instruction for photobucket and voila. See, men can follow instructions

Well it worked so here's another.

I like. Does it push you forward into the tank?

No mate, if anything it's pushes you away. It's more ramped up at the front compared to the original. It's a lowered seat but I honestly can't tell the difference. I still can't reach the floor properly. I think it's a tiny bit wider, which defeats the lowering. Still, seems comfy so far but haven't done any distance yet. Spent about half-hour on it the other day and all was well. It's a bit firmer than the original but I believe the gel pads take time to soften. Cheers

as soon as I saw the first picture Mark I thought "oooh that looks really nice"

I imagine that it will soften as it gets more use, as it, and your backside, get used to each other.

Does it attach and detach easily ?

Doesn't attach and detach quite as easy as the original, which wasn't easy either. But a bit of jiggery pokery gets it sorted. I've read somewhere of somebody bending the attachment tab under their seat to make it fit easier. May have to have a try of that

Mark, I have to say that looks sweet.

[Wirralmark]

Well, we've been on a longer ride now and seat was good all the way. Longest stint was about 2 and a half hours and we felt the need to stretch our legs but I think thats quite normal. Don't know if I'm getting used to it, or it is getting used to me, but definitely comfy, no complaints. Cheers

Looks very nice indeed .... now you really wouldn't want to get off the bike at the end of a ride !

I have just come back from my second trip to the South of France this year and after 2 days with over 8 hours in the saddle the stock seat felt rather uncomfortable. 
So I ordered a seat from them and got confirmation that it has been shipped today.
Looks like they have ready made seats for the GTR on offer for €189 from time to time and I ordered one of those.
Including shipping with UPS it came to £204 in the end since I opted to keep the stock seat.
Still sounds like good value to me.
Hardly worthwhile to pay the deposit and send the old seat at my expense to France anyway.
So if I ever sell the beast I can either keep the new one if I get another GTR or sell it separately.

I'll keep you posted once it arrives - should be by the end of the week.

- mecki , perhaps sitting on anything for 8 hours would be hard work ...

Pfft... GTR is a veritable magic carpet compared to other bikes... it will be the one thing i miss on Septembers trip... I could ride all day on the beast without any aches for sure....

I have already booked a trip to the Massuse for when I get back off of the Tuono... 3/4 of an inch of fine Italian foam mmmm ....

You are probably right but a little less pain is better and those topsellerie seats look great too. 

[mecki]

My new seat arrived today.
It looks great and actually fits better than the old one. 
Seems to be a bit firmer too.

Tried to take a photo but the flash isn't working properly on my cheap camera so has to wait until I get her out of the garage. 
I'll keep you posted how it feels after a longer ride-out.
