Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I can highly recommend this company.

http://www.tonyarcher.co.uk/

Very very well known in most motorcycle circles and does a 1st class job to your specification, re-covering, adding gel pads, altering the shape etc....

Tony did a seat for me on my old Bandit 12 a few years back and it was superb, I'm hunting for a 2nd hand seat for the T to take to him for some mods I have planned

These are very comfortable

We have them in the living room - not sure how you'd fit them to the bike - but I'm sure you or Nooj would find a way.

Pete, I take it that the Preparation H is not really addressing the problem.

These people were advertising in MCN - mainly car seats but they do gel bike seats - either within your current seat or will rework your seat with a gell filling and new cover.

Failing that, velcro a rubber ring to your seat.


EDIT: Whoops forgot to post the link .... you'd never suspect I'd just got back from the pub ....

I am sure these Guys had a stand at the NEC today. First saw them at Le Mans two years ago.
They had a special offer of £153 to recover your old seat. Trouble was you had to send it to France.

The seats on display did look like good quality though.

Blimey, they even had an option for my Cagiva Navigator :smt003

Cheers
