Gel seat for a Curvy?

[alf01]

Hello All,

I have a Sv650s K2, and i was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a Gel seat for it. I have been riding this for about 6 months and i love it, but long journeys is a killer.

Many thanks.

evilbay otherwise a few people go them from otherplaces. Not sure off the top of my head.

have to be evil bay I'm afraid. Suzuki OEM gel seats are getting a rarity, and Corbins are more so. I have both. If you do chance to find a OEM one, I would have it recovered asap, as the fabric cover gets very wett and feels like an overfilled nappy :-(
Otherwise they are great!

OR you could send a standard seat to Tony Archer, who will pull it apart and insert a gel thing under the cover. Does a very good job and highly recommended by my other half. I'm sending my gel seat to him to be recovered shortly

ta for that link Dizz to Tony Archer site-

I am sending MYSELF to him for a full recover and some softness put in

i'm gonna do my own-gel pad £12, spray adhesive £5,-remove staples, cut pad transfer out of seat,spray glue then apply gel pad, re-cover and restaple job done-under £20 in total.Will post up a step by step picture guide when done.

i've used Custom Motorcycle Seats in coventry a couple of times, great service, post yours there with about £100 and you get it back within a week with a gel insert, re-uses the same cover and you can get it made a bit lower or higher at the same time 02476 665203, theyve got a web site too

£100 quids a lot of brass. Tony Archer is cheaper than that for the same job

[alf01]

ok thanks.

did my seat this weekend useing a pushbike gel pad cover that i got from lidl in stock at the moment at 2.99 cut off all unwanted material off gel pad, uncovered seat, cut out foam so that gel seat sat inside snug then recovered. not a bad job can hardly notice its there and when its bedded in will be perfect

had a go at this today and results seem to be good, just need a staple gun now to put it back together!

Here are some pictures:

This is what you'll start with,

Then after cutting/ripping out the foam and trimming the gel you get this.

And once covered over you get this!

Obviously thats not the finished article as ive not attached the cover again but it should smooth out nicely and seems a good improvement but only time in the saddle will tell!
