Gel seats good bad or ugly

[Vtwo Fiend]

I am thinking of fittting a gel seat to my SV1000 but dont know if they are any good

[Pussy]

They are very comfy

[Cajun]

some people like them, not very common in NZ

You can get a custom seat, made to suit you check out www.trimit.co.nz

[fergie]

also have a look at airhawke seats. http://www.airhawkguy.com.au/

In fact... if anyone is interested, I have two genuine Suzuki gel seats to move on. One for a 2003-2004 GSX-R1000, and one for a 2004-2008 SV650/1000

[imdying]

They're generally regarded as a worthwhile upgrade for the SV1k. Suzuki themselves make a factory gel seat for the SV.

I suppose the GSXR one wont fit an 06 will it?

I am keen to get one.

You can have it for a hundy. I don't think it will fit the 03. Suzuki changed the sub-frame 04 onwards.
I also have the genuine Suzuki lower seat for the 04 onwards SV650/1000

[Pussy]

I found the gel seats bloody comfy. As soon as I have some spare pingers I'm getting one in from USA for the sem fiddy

I can trump that! I lost mine when I stood up to fart and the sheepskin finished up in between my chain and rear sprocket.

Im thinking of making a seat out of this cyberclean

You sure you didn't suck it back in during a "moment" ? :bleh:

[Pussy]

The SV seat has "SV" embossed on it, and the gixxer one has the "GSX-R" logo on it. They're built on stock Suzuki seat bases. They are genuine Suzuki parts

I use to have a TL its seat was far better than the SV

[98tls]

I use to have a TL its seat was far better than the SV For sure,ive a mate with an SV and i would have to say its the most uncomfortable bike i have ever ridden.

[scumdog]

There must be something wrong with me - I don't find my it uncomfortable on my vibrating-with-thin-as-seat Harley even after a whole day riding, diffrnt strokes fer diffrnt folks I guess...

To make it worse i would still have my belovid 99 TLS but some bastard wanted it more than i did, it was a great bike.

[Wingnut]

How much do these gel seats retail for in NZ?

[98tls]

Never heard of anyone stocking them here to be honest,would imagine it would be grossly over priced if they did,ebay is your friend,even better try Gixxer.com or similar.

[sinned]

Instead of spending a lot on another seat get the current one modified. I had the seat on the speed triple reshaped with different filler / gel by Rider Seats (http://www.trimit.co.nz/index.htm) here in NZ.

How easy are the seats to move around on, if you like throwing the bike into a corner and hanging off the side

[Owl]

I looked into a Triumph Gel seat for the triple, but was strongly advised not to. I was told they are slippery and get pretty hot in summer, so I ended up getting a Sargent seat from the US.

Only thing is, you'd get off the bike after burning through a tank of petrol, and there'd be two round cheek imprints on your seat.

Not all of us have such a luxury posterior as yourself though ;)
