    Is it just me or is the standard seat material on the SC77 generation very slippy? The seat on my SC59 feels much better but on my SP, every time I touch the brake, there is a powerful ball to tank meeting. I decided to recover my seat and as I tend to do long days in the saddle during summer, I thought I’d add a gel insert while I was at it.

    This part was messy!

    I think this gel should feel pretty nice, I did remove the centre strip of foam before covering.

    Done

    Once the cover has warmed a bit and had some use it should loose the storage wrinkles. Over all I’m pretty happy as I just had a go and hoped for the best ha. Cheers

    Thank you. The gel is Luimoto Gold Gel. The cover is from ebay, they are called Volcano Motorcycle Seat Covers. It was a while ago I ordered it all but I remember the important tax was a bit spicy on the seat cover as it came from Italy.
