I agree, stock seat is crap. One on mine is 12 yrs old, only re foamed top layer once. Worth spending for quality i reckon. Most comfy seat in my whole life. Sheepskin for long trips makes it even better.

I like the look and shape of your seat, it use it as a design for my spare seat. Had a bloke do some work on it but not happy with it.

Love my seat - my arse can do 200 miles before it gets uncomfortable  :) gsxseat.jpg

I had a seat raised and flattened a couple of years ago, last weekend I rode up to my mums about 225 miles and it was fine.  Most bike manufacturers make big bike and then bugger them up by putting a skinny, low, sloping seat on them so short arses can ride a big bike, why don't they just buy a smaller bike.  :confused1: 
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

mjgt, while back, thinking im old, i am, get a smaller bike. i checked out lots. just nothing i liked or found easier than 14. Maybe real small, but no guts, not for me. My thinking is, ive learnt how to push 14 around, hip located here, feet here, etc etc. Its comfy, know it backwards, Ill keep on for a while.

Only recovered my standard seat & it's fine for me. TBH the original cover wasn't bad, but it split so a smooth cover went on in it's place.

That's a Top Sellerie seat, ya buy them online, from France if I remember correctly.  I looked at those & would have really liked one, but spending that amount of coin without being able to confirm fit, nah, I just couldn't take that chance.


Just to add, I see Top Sellerie are now also in Australia, so you guys can now get one 'local'  hell, maybe I can too, I'll go check their prices.
 
Geez, Euro369 for a new seat, that's north of $650 here :facepalm:  Might just stay with what I've got thx.  :onya:
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

I bought one of their lowered seats and was very dissatisfied with it. I have had it remodelled once and still not happy with it. It's now with another local Trimmer and hopefully this time it will be good. 🤞
