Best seat swop
I love touring on my SV but find the seat a pain in the butt, can anyone recommend a gel seat or corbin etc to ease the pain?

Re: Best seat swop
Anybody tried customseats gel pads? Seem to be cheapest option but still expensive at 130 for a pair - worth it?

Re: Best seat swop
I looked into this but couldnt justify the cost.
I would rather suffer abit of bum ache and have the odd stop on long journeys than be £150+ out of pocket for only a little improvment. I can just about last between fuel stops now lol |

Re: Best seat swop
These are superb, but not cheap..............£207. Even after a 600 mile day though we weren't sore or stiff.
They are made by Bagster, the same company who make the tank covers.

Re: Best seat swop
Looks very comfy, and when you've spent all your money on bikes and can't afford any furniture you can use it as a sofa .. Is that why it's in the living room?

Re: Best seat swop
A pair of cycling shorts with a foam gusset does it for me...

Re: Best seat swop
Nobody use those Airhawk tings? Pretty cheap. Worth a punt?
