Best seat swop
 
I love touring on my SV but find the seat a pain in the butt, can anyone recommend a gel seat or corbin etc to ease the pain?

Anybody tried customseats gel pads? Seem to be cheapest option but still expensive at 130 for a pair - worth it?

I looked into this but couldnt justify the cost.

I would rather suffer abit of bum ache and have the odd stop on long journeys than be £150+ out of pocket for only a little improvment.

I can just about last between fuel stops now lol

These are superb, but not cheap..............£207. Even after a 600 mile day though we weren't sore or stiff.

They are made by Bagster, the same company who make the tank covers.

Looks very comfy, and when you've spent all your money on bikes and can't afford any furniture you can use it as a sofa .. Is that why it's in the living room? :)

Who needs furniture? The bike comes first:D

And it's in what used to be the dining room. Needed a garage more than a dining room;)

A pair of cycling shorts with a foam gusset does it for me...:cool:

Nobody use those Airhawk tings? Pretty cheap. Worth a punt?
