seats

Post by barker » Tue Mar 29, 2022 5:08 pm

the seat on my suzuki address is ok up to 30 miles then its like a plank, i cant wait to get off the thing,talking to afew bikers at a well known bikers spot, on the south downs i seems a lot of you long distance riders use a seat pad such as a airhawk,
looked on there site apart from the cost they dont seem to cater for the smaller scooter type.
so im asking all you for your solutions to the to this problem.
i have tried having more padding in the seat, but its not much better, i think its got to be a pad of some sort

Pretty sure the seat rebuilding guy still operates out of that back street garage in Henfield.

I'll see if I still have his details. His speciality is rebuilding seats to look stock but with memory foam that suits your weight/shape.

However, searching for him, I turned up this one, too:

The Cruiser Airhawk fits a cub. It's sort of triangular in shape.

I had a gel seat pad from M&P on my BMW, attached with large velcro straps which made the standard seat bearable.

It's advertised as waterproof now but my one wasn't. I left it on overnight during a rainstorm and it soaked up so much it took a week to dry out. I've learned to live without it but have since used it on the C90 but only for longer runs. Never bothered to remove it when parked as it ain't pretty and too much faff.

I use a fairly big airhawk on mine......works well......it’s not too big.
Remember you need very little air...even less when it’s warm.
