Default inserted new foam in my seat myself.!

Ok - have been thinking of a Gel seat- dont to too many miles- only on the Anuual rideouts..


as I said in a previous post... I have some of that memory foam from the bed - a topper.... left over ! as we stopped using it- it was a double- but I cut it in half for camping- then Kim decided in her infinite wisdom that we dont want to camp anymore( h ha she camping on sat night on the AR06).

anyway - i done it....

took seat off.. cut some foam and then re covered.. with me staple gun etc etc.. was quite easy really-

I am not overly happy with the result- looks wise.. but I will do it again after I have ridden for a while if it proves to ease the pain..!!......


can you still get those heated wire cutters for polystyrene!!!... i am sure i could shape the foam with that really easy-

anyway heres the pics.. will let u know the rtesults in terms of comfiness on me bum!!...
