How to keep your bike clean.

Cling film is fantastic idea------as in wrap me in cling film and rip it off









Sorry I'll go away now

All the GSXR's I have sat on I am uncomfortably on 1 tiptoe.

I have shaved the buggery out of my SV seat to get both tiptoes down, or 1 flat foot if I pedrosa it.

However the GSXR seat is a lot less shaveable from what I can make out (less material) and maybe the fear of dropping a new bike had me a bit "ooh, best not push my luck" type thing if that makes sense.

Optimistically thinking I reckon I can cope with the 810mm seat height. But still struggle.

Hongman, have you tried these to make it more comfortable?

I'm fine on the SV now, but thanks anyway.

If I got a SS I'd rather not mess with lowering the bike either. I'd find a way to cope, most likely just getting used to it.
