[right] Hi guys, just a quick query to see if anybody out there has a seat they want to sell, either a factory gel seat for a 1250 bandit, or a corbin or sergeant seat, iv got a gsx650f so anything is better than that uncomfortable seat

PaulD, agree with your pursuit of a replacement seat, STD is 5h1t. I bought a sargent from a fellow forum member and have not looked back, it's excellent. Sorry, I only have a stock unit now... US dollar is good, postage okay using something like USPS, good luck.

Give Kevin a call at VCM seats he was offering us 10% discount he use a gel layer in your stock seat and reshapes at the same time. He is doing mine in a week or two.

He also has posted a thread on this forum

I like the standard seat. I have had bikes that used planks of wood but the B1250 seat is a ripper for me Laughing

Laughing I think its a case of me liking to sit with the jewels against the tank. That helps me to weight the front better. I can see how people claim to slide forward if they sit back a little. It could also have something to do with where I ride and how active I am in the seat. Droning along a hwy might see me with a sore arse after 300km I dont know but thats long enough for a fuel stop for all of us except Gus Laughing

Each to our own. Happy to be a sadist. Glad you didnt call me a sodomist lol!

i must have a sensitive backside 200kms and i am fidgeting. Fuel stop to relieve the soreness and then 100kms its the same thing.

Yes sliding forward is an issue but the the seat is at a raked angle and not made from the gripiest material in the world. I just find the width of the seat and the sharp angle are the main issue.

I ride with an airhawk now and it is a god send. I can do 600 to 1000kms in a day with no real problems. However after a really long highway ride on the stock seat you might feel as if you have been got at by a sodomist affraid affraid affraid affraid affraid

I have to admit having been through your neck of the woods a few times now there a very few dull straight roads so yes you are very active in the seat. Beautiful riding country we both look forward to our next ride down. Smile Smile Smile

I was looking for a side saddle pic to post as a bit of a joke when I came across one titled “side saddle cowgirl”.
Excuse me while I do a bit more “research” on this activity Laughing

Just realized wheels we have different bikes Doh. The new GSX has been given a plank for a seat. Suzuki have used this as an area to save some money in production hence comments about the seat.

This will be a thing of the past soon.
