Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

There are several options from remortgaging the house and buying a Corbin, to Bagster (sell a kidney) or a local upholsterer (I used Core seats in Lincoln). There are also various gel pads...You'll know pretty quickly - I only lasted 300 miles.
Didn't have a problem with the stock seat comfort but then I'm used to rock hard KTM seats, but I did find it too low (I'm 5ft. 11).

Managed to get an as new Suzuki "Tuck and Roll" seat for £100 on eBay which I find is just enough higher (plus I prefer the look).
