Gel seat insert. 10mm thick. Set into foam and overlaid with 3mm neoprene self adhesive sheet.
First attempt at doing this. Took an hour and 5/10 for difficulty. Chose to take it to a sofa maker to be re-stapled (£10) rather than buying an expensive stapler.
Does it work? Yes. Of course it does. It couldn't be worse than the stock seat. I would say it's half way between the stock awfulness and the PowerParts comfort seat I had on the last 1290. Worth doing. If i did it again I might double up on the gel insert where your seat bones push. And draw twice the number of lines to cut too as my squares were too big.

Adding an Airhawk seems to be a simpler solution, if you happen to have one, lucky I do. I rode 265 miles yesterday around the Scottish Borders and I was just starting to feel like I needed a break in the last 30 miles.
I played around with the indicators at home without gloves on which made it much easier to get the ‘knack’ of cancelling them, used the same technique, push in then down & in, worked every time.
The engine power is amazing it just never runs out on the road.
