Tony Archer seat for my Serow

[katyotter]

Can't wait - my Tony Archer seat arrives tomorrow! My Serow is 22 years old and I've long thought it would be nice to do it up a bit so I've started with the seat - gel and a smart covering job. Next will be the tank, plastics and engine mounting. Pic of the seat to follow.

Serows are great, I have 2! Wee bikes with a big heart. Went from Devon to HUBB on one of mine loaded to within an inch of it's max and it ran like a dream.

 

[katyotter]

Give us a chance guys, it only arrived a couple of hours ago

Pics as promised, these are the afters - the befores to follow

Also it's now full of gel so it's incredibly comfortable

And now the befores:

 

[tugboat]

Very nice. Don't think I'd bother with the grab strap though, I like to be able to move about to relieve the monkey butt!

is a decent long ride to see if gel cures monkey butt.

But the grab strap adds to the whole aesthetics of the new cover! Also, speaking for myself, my butt certainly doesn't go back anywhere near that far

So Katy

If you dont mind me asking, how much was the retrim?
chhers Pauly.

 

[katyotter]

Don't mind at all, it was £110 inc. postage which I think was pretty good. Also they got it Saturday morning and I got it back today.

I seriously hope you refer to your Serow as 'The Mighty Wah'.

If you don't you must be too young

Down here in the South Hams we live on pasties and ice cream (well some of us do) so my butt is HUGE!

Or so old I've lost my memory

Oh, Katy, I am so jealous!
I've tried lots of things to make my Serow seat more comfortable - currently use a sheepskin which does make a slight difference & I did buy a gel pad which fits onto the seat but I've not actually used it. Perhaps I should

Has it made much difference to the seat height?

None at all I think, but the seat's really comfy now. Why don't you just have the gel done? Tony Archer is £60 for that. I've taken some close up pics as the ones currently on here really don't do it justice - I'll stick them up this evening.

Probably because I've lived in Yorkshire for 20 yrs
I've also got a DR250 which also has an incredibly uncomfortable seat so I'd have to pay out twice.... thought the gel pad & sheepskin would do both bikes but they do make a difference to the seat height.
Look forward to seeing the pics
