new seat?

[Jaq Draco]

i have just come back from a weekend to lemans for the moto GP. My first ride abroad on my 1150gs. I am as sore as a badgers arse after having to ride for 14 hours yesterday from le mans to oxford. the seat on my gs is very poor. I had a sore arse within 100k. I think it is either too soft or has just become buggered. 21k on the clock at the moment. Can anyone suggest a new seat? I like the fact that mine is in two parts. means I can remove the rear and use it as a luggage rack. many thanks in advance.

You've opened a can of worms! Do a search for and you'll get a million threads.
For me CORBIN is the only way to go.

I have just spent a week in france with a very comfy arse thanks to my seat being melvined and gel padded. And Melvin is a nice bloke to deal with.

Seat

Start cycling on a push bike regularly and you'll think your GS seat is an armchair, and it's better for your health

I´m being Meyered as we speak

there are lots of options

dont rely on a bunch of tossers to give you good info (most cant be trusted)

you need to do a proper search amigo!

Is your GS seat like this ?

Corbin seats

You'll find cheaper Corbin seats in the U.S. Just search the internet & pay the shipping.

Only problem with ordering from the US is the possibility of getting hit with a charge for import duties and VAT when the postman arrives with your parcel.
