good morning again !

I would deffo invest in the none slip seat cover-
it is like the none slip stuff u put under rugs..!
slips on and off easy- which is good cos when u aint on the bike and if exposed to sun they can get warm and the cheaper ones melt a bit!!..some are velvety some are cheaper and plastic based...available on the net no problems at about £12 .
will stop you tensing and may relieve some pain- even allowing you to move (excuse me maam) from buttock to buttock

Love handles are around £15- and yes they are more to hold on than to stop bottom ache but it all assists....like if you gripp with your knees when riding u can ease some bottom ache..

best way I find to avoid ar*e ache is to not take the wife pillion !! oooo eerrrrrrr sorry Mrs could 'nt resist.!

hope it sorts itself out and you start to enjoy your pillion trips out a little more. cos my wife now loves em ..a lot more- and if i am being honest- sharing a ride out with her is ace !!!...... stopping for a coffe and a burger and nice view - cant beat it..

incidentally - best thing we bought for £15 is an intercom microphone and earpiece link between us .- it is ace- we can chat away point things out, she can say she wnts to stop, seen a nice handbag in a shop window !! anything- i can inform her if i am going to overtake and indeed assure her when I am not intending to !!!...worth getting....
all in all about "50 should get you all of the above and although you may think oo I dont pillion too often to warrant it..maybe if u had all of this you would pillion more and get more enjoyment

safe riding.

NB- just checked-
intercom system we have is called - chatterbox- was from a " dealer|" on e bay- and was £15...had no probs at all.
is clearly audible and nice n neat....

you can pay £100 plus- depends what u want!!.

Yeah, I think he likes no intercom. I can chatter away to my hearts content and he can't hear me :lol:

It ain't cheap, but well worth it IMHO :wink:

My front seat was £95 :!:

Quiff Wichard 05-08-05 05:48 PM

not bad though-
initial outlay yea..
but 95 quid over ayear!!..


less than £2 a week....now if u gonna have it 2 years less than a quid a week for comfort..
worth it huh !

and i am sure thatit will help to sell the bike when it comes to it- not sure it will asssit any residual value...but ...!! worth it if you can justify it ..and not mean feeding the kids beans on toast for a week !!

Not when the tw@s at ART punctured it for me :roll:

Does the gel seat reduce rider mobility on the saddle for "sporty" riding? I am skinny, so I too have a problem with sore butt over long distances but wouldn't want to compromise my ability to move around the saddle...
