Title: Seat's had it Post by: IZ on February 11, 2010, 06:25:50 PM One rip a few months ago and another in the past week. :-\
I wonder how many on/offs it's had in 7 years? Nearly 73,000 miles. Looks like it's time for a new saddle. Hmmm..maybe a DP gel seat? Anyone just have their seat refurbished?

[cheeky] By the time I have an address in Japan, you'll have moved again anyway! Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: ducducgooseme on February 13, 2010, 07:02:19 AM Hey IZ, didnt you move back to AZ? If so, a gel seat is a Baaaaaaaad idea. When I lived in NM, the sun got that gel so friggen hot it melted my man peaches everytime i rode the bike.
Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: JEFF_H on February 13, 2010, 07:46:27 AM the new comfort seat from DP is a new mfr and doesnt look to have the gel padding in it like the previous version.
looks like the 696 seat with the suede-looking covering on it.

If so, a gel seat is a Baaaaaaaad idea. When I lived in NM, the sun got that gel so friggen hot it melted my man peaches everytime i rode the bike. I have a gel seat and it's seen some hot days (not Az, but high 90s). I got a bikini cover that does a great job. It seems to only need the shade to keep the gel cool and it is very comfy. w/o the cover it cooks the bacon.Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: muskrat on February 13, 2010, 03:18:29 PM careful with that seat, it will roast nuts in the summer
Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: herm on February 13, 2010, 03:38:41 PM That's OK Chris..I don't want you to know where I live. [cheeky] hey iz_az... i have a spare seat for my s2r1k as well. replaced it with the dp gel seat that came off my old 620, so i know they are compatible. wasnt really planning to sell it, but if you are in need, and dont want Nakid to find you......drop me a pm. 8) Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: jerryz on February 13, 2010, 07:19:05 PM I was going to have my S4 seat reshaped and gel pads inserted ...but this thread has put me off as In Thailand it gets to over 100f every day.
I will just have the seat cut and reshaped with new foam and a new cover as the standard shape is very painful on very long rides. Title: Re: Seat's had it Post by: Punx Clever on February 14, 2010, 12:05:44 PM I say take it to a custom upholstery shop. Doesn't look like anyone does custom seats on their monsters... would make it very unique.
But having a spare seat wouldn't be bad either. I'm almost to the point where I can have a full rat-rod body and seat setup in addition to a more traditional look on my s2r |
