Comfortable seat . . .

Post by macvisual »

I've a (2008) model V-Strom DL1000 and looking advice regards a more comfy motorcycle seat. Any advice on where I can possibly upgrade my standard Suzuki seat to something like a Corbin or any other make would be greatly appreciated.

Advice/experience/knowledge would be great, thanks.

Not yet tried him, but I hear good things about Tony Archer up north.
Google him and call/discuss how he can help

If you have more than one bike or are not thinking keeping the bike long term, I do recommend an airhawk as an alternative to re sculpting. It depends how often you use the bike & how uncomfortable you find it, but mine goes on every time it's more than a normal day in the saddle (thumbs)

Have a look at Seat Concepts USA ..they will supply a new foam and cover ( to the UK) which you can get a local upholster with a decent air powered stapler to fit ...I had one for my Terra and it was much nicer than standard and IIRC it was about £120 delivered...
