    Seats

    I need to get something done about my seat - it feels like I've had a weekend away with Dale Winton and Michael Barrymore every time I get off the bike. I have read that the Corbin seat is no real improvement on the original - has anyone got the Touratech replacement - is it worth the money?

    I'm doing a 100 mile commute every other day and it's really doing my back and arse in! Everything else is great - including the new MRA Vario screen (more of this later inc pics).

    What a great bike though.

    Me again - do GA Wells replace all of the foam or just around the riders @rse? It's just that I would like to get my wife to go on the back for a few trips, but there's no point if I'm going to be comfy and she gets a pain in the backside after two miles.

    I think they'll do whatever you want!
    However with mine they just took a section off and replaced it.

    with mine the section they replaced goes from the very front of the seat all the way to the back of the seat. they explained to me they can remove and replace as much as you want, so long as they are still able to stretch and replace the original cover, and yes it does make the pillion more comfortable, so much so i can't go out on my own any more!!!!!!!
