So is it cheaper to own a Ducati now?

Woohoo found a place on ebay new gel seat for 160 quid + 10quid for posting. Sellers got good ratings too :P.

I'm very tempted as i'm hoping this would cure my lower back problems on my SV (and my only real complaint about the SV! well other than the fact 15 more bhp would be nice :P)

I recon bar risers would be a better bet, unless you have already done that.

I like my current bars, clip ons or whatever u call em! I find my **** does get numb and i had no probs riding my OH's sprint ST similar position but really good seat!

Smartrrrs Seats in York. £60 plus postage and I got it back in less than a week. The gel pad went under the original cover and it makes a HELL of a difference. I can keep going for a tank full now or until my knees seize up.

Why worry about reverting to standard again? It would be a selling point!

Its a good point and one i hope they take into account with my beowulf can

Damn. I was replacing my fairing panels in the near future.

Price has doubled? Ridiculous.

I think we should get in touch with Suzuki. Maybe this one IS for MCN then?

I managed to find a Gel Seat delivered from the US cheaper than I could've bought one here 'before' the price hike... (around the £100 mark if I remember right)
Should make it even more viable to buy from across the seas!
