Im looking to make my sv better in the seat department as i find the standard on cronic, has anyone got a genuine suzuki gel one or anyother make and what are they like comfort wise? or has anyone had the standard one made better?

cheers

I've got the OEM gel seat that Luckypants sold me last year on one bike, and I just aquired a Corbin one off Northwind for the other.
The OEM one is absolutely 100% comfy on long distance, just starts to feel a little damp if it rains( its got a fabric cover)
And I've still to test drive the Corbin one.....I'll tell you in a weeks time when I'm back from Wales. Its a bit like a go-kart seat and a little odd on first trial that I did on a short run last week

Tis Ok, the OEM one feels like the standard at first, it kind of moulds to your bum after a short sit on it. And after about 500 miles you've kind of forgotten what your sitting on anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell of a lot better that the standard block of wood

I have a Suzuki gel seat on my K2s, really comfy. Vast improvement over original. |Also can get my feet down.

I have a corbin seat, it's brilliant, it's not too good for hanging off though as its a bit like a bucket at the back.

It is lower, but a little wider, you're sat right "in" the bike, which I like, but short legged people might not as the width of it counteracts the reduced height.

I do know of a firm who will lower, re-cover and gel-pad any seat, probably cheaper than a replacement. Can find out the place if anyones interested?

they might be able to sort you out with a gel insert for your seat
