Melvyn

[Fudpucker]

Forgive my ignorance but who is “Melvyn” and how do I set about finding this worker of wondrous deeds before I am totally incapacitated. Been on a 200 miler today and am still aching. Can’t write anymore unless I stand up so off for a hot bath.

True. But they work for me, my ass is so comfy Ms Cheek's says she hears it snoring now and then.

Get a Corbin

I have to agree.

Had my GSA seat done by Melvin, good service, quick turnaround and nicely made.

Better than the stock seat, but sadly still was'nt quite right for me.

Bought the Corbin, made like shite, the service was crap, but fitted like a glove.

But even Corbins dont suit every one.

You maybe on a very long and expensive path to find a seat that is right for YOU!

I lost count how many seating options I tired until I bought the Corbin.

Then I went and sold the bike

I've tried a Melvyn'd seat (on an 1150) and it wasn't for me. Now I've got a Sargent and it's excellent.

If you do go and visit Melvyn, he's a very nice chap, he'll make you a nice cup of tea but he could talk the hind legs off a donkey

Thanks for the advice. Think I'll sit on it for a while.

i think a melvyn seat only really works if you can go and see him in person - so he knows exactly what you want and how big/heavy you are.

i'm sure if he gets it right - it'll be excellent. - otherwise sargeant is the holy grail.

if you know what you want & you tell him what you want, melvyn can do it for you. it's only a bit of foam & vinyl, how hard can it be? it's the design & customisation that's tricky.
his own idea of what a GS seat should be is a bit skewed, but then so is bmw's
