This is what you really need! If you've got plenty of cash.
Think of it like the helmet thing "If you got a £10 head then buy a £10 helmet".
So how much would you pay for comfort?

See the link I know it's for a V-strom. The SV shouldn't be difficult. for them to do.

This is one thing ive definatly noticed the last 5 days of riding (since thats how long ive had the seat) my ass just really hurts after an hour or so. Im going to look into a gel seat.

I've got a CORBIN seat, it's not got any gel or anything but it's very wide. So my whole bum gets on it. It's also a little bit lower which I thought would cramp my legs but so far (2 months) so good. I can ride a whole tank of fuel out without any numb bum issues.

Pliers, a staple gun, and some automotive seat foam. 1" thick is plenty, especially if you're short (lowers the seat about 30mm). Lose the stock foam completely. Custom seats are too expensive and many find them no better.

If an uncomfortable seat is doing your head in can I suggest you revise how you sit?

your head should be in your lid!

An electric knife, some vinyl, a stapler and a few beers, Otherwise free

Makes a huge difference

If you've got some money to burn, get a corbin seat. It is an American company that makes seats mostly for harleys and cruisers, but the seats that they make for other bikes are great. It is the most comfortable seat that I have ever sat on. I've ridden for hours through windy roads and highways and never had any problem with aches or pains. They are a bit pricey though. For a front sv650 seat, its $300 US about £160, I think. Heres the link if you are interested.

If people here are interested in getting Gel seats, it might be an idea to arrange a Groupbuy to get a better price.

So far I have found a place that will do the Gel Insert for £40 per seat.

If you are interested in a GB then put your name down. I reckon if we get 5 we can get a better price.
