Gel seat for a Curvy? - SV650.org

23-02-09, 10:39 PM

Hello All,

I have a Sv650s K2, and i was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a Gel seat for it. I have been riding this for about 6 months and i love it, but long journeys is a killer.

Many thanks.

evilbay otherwise a few people go them from otherplaces. Not sure off the top of my head.

have to be evil bay I'm afraid. Suzuki OEM gel seats are getting a rarity, and Corbins are more so. I have both. If you do chance to find a OEM one, I would have it recovered asap, as the fabric cover gets very wett and feels like an overfilled nappy

Otherwise they are great!

OR you could send a standard seat to Tony Archer, who will pull it apart and insert a gel thing under the cover. Does a very good job and highly recommended by my other half. I'm sending my gel seat to him to be recovered shortly

i've used Custom Motorcycle Seats in coventry a couple of times, great service, post yours there with about £100 and you get it back within a week with a gel insert, re-uses the same cover and you can get it made a bit lower or higher at the same time 02476 665203, theyve got a web site too

£100 quids a lot of brass. Tony Archer is cheaper than that for the same job
