Gel seats - SV650.org

Hi All,

I need to get my self a gel seat and a pillion gel seat if possible so does anyone know if the A they exist B where to get them and C how much plus any other relevant info you may have on them

the reason behind it all is cos my pillion will be commuting with me every day for 120 miles so to stop her whinging about numb **** syndrome I promised to get her a comfy seat!

Cheers

I think gel seats from suzuki have been discontinued.

Checkout Baglux, think they do replacement seats and original seat alterations. Not got one though, so couldn't comment on how good they are.

Corbin seats might be worth a look too, but I'm not sure if there are any UK distributers.

Baglux do a nice "touring" seat for the SV, a gel based single seat for both rider & pillion. I think Clogsy or somebody had one, looked very good.

I remember back in 2000/1 single gel seats were about £80-£100 but baglux are around £200, might be better putting in an insert, about £50 each, or an ad in Wanted

What model's it for? Gel seats for the carbed model are getting to be hen's teeth. I might have one for sale in a while- I'm fed up of the way it sponges up water when it rains, so I'll either get it covered, or get a custom one built from a standard seat base. Not sure yet.

Another Idea might be to have the seat custom made I'm sure on the SVmania/ Banditmania site they were doing exchange seats for the SV.

just checked mentions SV seats from £55 but you'd need to phone to confirm

ward. i got my seat from ebay.com. including shipping from US of A it worked out at about 120 quid. also, there's a suzuki dealer in NY who'll ship to the uk (i think), called something like "oneida", try a google search.

i dont know about gel pillion pads though.

And they say that Ducati's are impractical!

The seat on my bike is no thicker than a beer mat and even on a 300km plus ride I have never yet had a sore a*se when riding it! And before you say it no I am not of the lard a*se variety!
