Re: Slippy **** on gel seat syndrome
I've not tried the OEM gel seat in the wet, as I returned one and got a refund from Suzuki as it was just not comfotable, too hard from start to finish on a run. According to the Vstrom International site they are made in the USA by Saddleman of California (does it rain there?) for Suzuki. So it's just like sending a seat off to any seat company to be modified some do a good job, some don't. I once modified a seat with closed cell foam this is used for orthopedic beds etc it's exspensive stuff and difficult to get the seat looking good but is great for comfort.

Slippy **** on gel seat syndrome
I have just got a new set of Frank Thomas Titanium leathers. Really nice really comfy really expensive etc etc.
However I went out today on the bike and my **** was slipping about on my seat like a good un. I have the OEM Gel seat on my K6. Whenever I let the engine braking slow me down my **** flew forward and slammed my ******** into the tank. It also felt like I was sliding foreward all the time. Is there something they put on new leathers I need to get off, or do I have a deformed ****. Either way it never happen withmy textiles. |

It's probably coincidence that the two materials slip over each other easily. You could try covering your seat in some of that non-slip webbing stuff. I think a couple of people on here have done it already (I think Quiff covered his pillion seat in the stuff for the same reason). |

Re: Slippy **** on gel seat syndrome
I find when I clean/waterproof my leathers I have a slippy bum for the first couple of rides but it then soon grips again, give it a few rides and see how it progresses.

Re: Slippy **** on gel seat syndrome
I found my leathers slid a bit on the OEM gel seat on the curvey. Fixed by gripping the tank properly with the knees.
