Seats

[Squirrel]

Hi

I just bought a new VTR. It's the 2003 model in a kind of matt black. I've previously had a couple of VFR's, blackbirds and a CBR600F.

I'm well pleased with the bike, especially the handling. However, I find the seat a bit hard and my wife finds the rear a bit more of a 'perch' compared to the other bikes we have had.

Does anyone have any advice/comments on aftermarket seats.

Thanx in advance

Try a corbin seat they are reputed to be the best aftermarket ones

i saw a new fitting the other day in MCN, is a kind of pad you stick on, fills with air if i remeber rightly, but was expensive, (something like £150 each),

alternativly, eat lots of pies, get a fat arass and then no problem.....

Melboy the owner builds sportsbike seats that are near as damnit to corbin / sargeant but at half the price using your original seat base (he does it on an exhange basis so are not without a seat)

Can build them to any colour / spec you want and with gel inserts as well if needs be.

I have got a corbin on the storm and the seat cover is split so over xmas its off down there to get recovered at a 3rd of the price corbin wanted ;-)
