My arse

[MacFarlane]

It kills, it knacks, and I'm not sitting on a dead Shaun the sheep, nae way!

I cannat afford a serjey seat unless they do a Lance Corp, and my fingers aren't nimble enough for the FS section.

In the Northumberland / Tyne & Wear(pig) area can any of you recommend a seat builder to turn my GS12 seat into something I can sit on for more than 1 hour. Price & quality is the consideration

I remember Graeme taalking about one on the Hill somewhere's, but any ideas.

 

[Mr K]

Get some more padding on yer erse boy!

Eat more pies!

..or try Melvin Hunter at www.motorbike-seats.co.uk

He did mine.



I know he's not local, but just talk to him and tell him what you want and post your seat off to him.
I borrowed a spare seat from a mate while mine was being done.

A sarge is worth the money. I bought a mint second hand one on ebay at about half the new price. Just did over 2,000 miles in France & Belgium on it and it works

My taught honed physique rejects pies and kebabs.

I might try him over winter if nobody local, but I'd rather stay local rather than some gadgie from the Midlands*

*Disclaimer I've nothing against the midlands, but you all talk funny and are soft

Thats who i used , he took the SE cover of my normal seat and fitted it to a low seat and charged me £30 ........

 

[yalcrabm]

The lad above hunters did mine he used orthapedic foam and reshaped it £70. It is a gs low seat and he matched it to the standard gsa seat. I have just come back from the top end of scotland (Durness) 407mls in a day no problems

Thanks for the advice lads, 'my arse' has now had 122 views, should have stuck it in Fenwicks windaz for less.

Should have titled it 'I say my seat hurts any advice chaps'

 

[Madasaboxoffrogs]

Thats the one cheers

Was he expensive?

He rebuilt the front seat (wider at the back and a gel pad fitted) and recovered both for £140 3 years ago.

I was happy and so was me arse

 

[Beetle2112]

A fleece only cost me £15-00.....I managed managed 1200 miles in a day on it, it's a bit of a no-brainer in my 'pinniun...

I like people like this guy

Asked at Hunters what time he opens, around 10ish? the reply. Salt & Pepper for a stottie, came back 10:30 shut, so had a look see in 'Painless Erics' came out around 10:50, and he's having a brew and a rolley

Davie Paterson, Looked at his work, looks a proper craftsman to me.

Spot on like, I asked him about Gel seats and he said the problem is they retain the heat, so if your hot or and in a hot country (or day) a wee uncomfertable, so nae chance here.

£110 for the pair, so I'll be dropping them off on Tuesday next

He also makes some canny gear for the bondage and fetish fans

Or...... go to the quacks and get yer Farmer Giles sorted

 

[PhilK]

I've a "Shaun-the-sheep" on mine.

Recently did Austria to Zeebrugge (554 Miles) in 10.5 hours.
Didn't hurt a bit.

They might not look good - ie no street cred, but it really works.
