You'll never have a sore ar$e again.
I move mine between SVs these days, as the OEM gel one feels like a nappy once wet ...reminds me I must get that damn thing recovered.

Corbins are soooooooooooooo comfy
Not sure if it will be the same on the Viffer but, on the SV they are a little wide. Northy warned me it felt like a go-cart seat, and it is. But once used to it, it squishes to you.

Can you still see the TV with it across the chair like that!!

Seriously, would be interested in what you think of it when fitted. I find the VFR seat a bit firm for long rides.
