Hi, as the sign says... Want to get my seat redone with that gel stuff and maybe something like that waffle look or whatever you call it ! Open to suggestions on both comfort and style. Im gonna be doing a big european ride so will be doing big miles... Cheers boys...
this is Si's bike - think I showed you it before.. there is a lad in Falkirk does them and i believe is well thought of.. will try dig out his number
Have a look on the webike website that have loads of stuff for the blade, seen some lovely mugen seats for the 08 but loads of stuff for the earlier model too Motorcycle Parts & Accessories from Japan - Webike
Mine was recovered in Alcantara and carbon leather, with red piping (see above). I had the CBR 1000rr logo stitched in. The cost was £100 all in, but i bought a second hand seat which was ripped for £10 off ebay. The only problem with alcantara, is that it fades in the sun, and if it gets wet, you have a soggy bottom. Haha.
That is beautiful Si !! I like the look of the Alcantara but it looks like grippy and i like to slide about a bit on the seat... Is it grippy ? Not bad at all at £100 mate. How long did they take to turn it around ? Is it more comfy than the standard was ?
It is grippy, yes..not too bad though. As for comfy, never noticed tbh...seems the same on long runs...they all kill your arse after 500 miles mate...haha. Turn around was: i dropped it off on Monday, picked it up Friday.
Just bought this... Comfort foam, build up at rear (to stop me sliding back too far) and re-trimmed on a brand new base. Superb quality.
That's what I wanted... but got sick of waiting for a used one to come up for sensible money. This seat is less than half the price!
Try these guys, mild to extreme, they do gel inserts too. Caulfield Leather - Custom Motorcycle Seats & Interiors Had one done for one of my gixxer thou's a number of years ago
