Maybe I just have a small ass or something but my seat is good to go.

I am camping this weekend, next weekend it's on!!! Brian, find that straight stretch of road, and bring the camera. Mine only does 40 second videos, which is not long enough Twisted Evil

Thats some seat!!!! Bit extreme for what I was thinking of, but definitely think it would solve the problem...

I've stripped the spare seat and am waiting for quote from my cousin.. If he doesnt ring back soon I shall do it myself... Someone suggested a gel insert from a horse saddle but maybe I will just fit the whole saddle in light of the picture above!!!!

If you guys are having a competition you need to put itn on here for us foreigners to see what your like!!!! Twisted Evil

hey gedge, I don't know if you have worked foam before, but one of those 2 bladed electric meat carving knife is the best tool for the job. you can trim and make any shape you want. alo you can sand it with a sanding pad on a grinder....

Foam block is easier to evenly-trim if you freeze it for a while prior to cutting too...

I bought mine from Jack Nice in Walthamstowe, E17. One of the options offeredd was a "touring" saddle. The standard seat is way, way better than that on my XR, so did not ask what the touring option was (cost £75).

I'll see how I get on, and maybe enquire later.

Interesting... Do you have his phone No.? I might ask him as waiting for my cousin is proving a bit of a problem!!

The Mastiff seat is hellish too - took my g/f on the back from Whaley Bridge to Buxton in the English Peak District and she was almost crying by the time we got there ... it's only about seven miles. Shocked

I've since become an expert at standing on the 'pegs on motorways - longest was thirty miles! Twisted Evil

Jack Nice's number 020 8520 1920.

Rode to and from the NEC on mine (around 300 miles). No problem.

Mind you, I'm a bit of a lard-arse.
