    An absolute beauty!

    This is a new seat that I had made locally for about UKP18, waterproof and very, very comfortable. I gave the shop, (which usually just does moped seats) the original orange plank to change. Supplied them my reworked Africa Twin seat as an example and "voila!", in less than 8 hours, (no kidding), the finished result!
    I just got back from a 400km trip this evening and it's a dream come true!No more "numb-bum" syndrome for this camper, ridge 2/3's down the seat stops the wife slipping forwards under heavy braking and crushing the family jewels etc.

    About the same height as the gel seat option, but about an inch wider on each side, made of composite foam, which is really comfy for "us older folks with less meat on the bone"! It also doesn't heat up like the gel insert type, which also reduces "betty swallocks" syndrome.
