I bought my SV, failed my DAS and went on to a CG125, does that count?

I am now back on the SV now though, anyone know a good place to get a nice seat from?

so what was so wrong about the vfr,i ride several bikes and i will normaly hope on the vfr because i find it the most rewarding it handles well its fully faired will clock about 150mph and its a v4 with charactor,oh and the engine is nearly indestructible and no cam chains or tensioners,am i missing something

Really, owned 11 Hinkley triumphs and covered at least 800,000 miles, never found the need to change the seat on any of them.

i was going to say get one of these and cut it into your seat but the price has doubled in 2 years.

i tried something like that on my mrk2 1200 bandit and it didn't make a sh*ts worth of difference and ended up buying a gell seat,i find its not just haveing a gell pad on or in the seat it is some times down to the seat shape,as on my old winter hack a 96 bandit 600 i can ride hundreds of miles on the standard seat with out any problems
