The crash bars were delivered tuesday. Trying to decide if the factory seat is as bad as I think or if two years without riding had a softening effect on my butt. Did 500 hundred miles today. It was better than yesterday though. Lol

Nice, that's a brochure pic though surely, must be some muck on it by now, did you forget your camera

It you can find and original Triumph gel seat go for it. Found one for my '99 and I love it. More room to move around but watch where you park it on a hot day!

A thinker :D ,we've done a 1000 miles in a day on our Tiger,but we had been on the road for two weeks when we did it we were race fit so to speak,when we went to Mugello the other week we knew it would be tough because we hadn't done any warm up trips this year before hand,the seat has nothing to do with it.

Re the factory gel seat,one of the 21st centuries great horrors,great for riding round the block on,long distance an absolute nightmare.

Beg to differ on gel seats Chris, maybe it depends on the bike or the bum. I did 3000 kicks over a weekend on my Striple with a factory gel seat and was very happy with it, just before I sold her I gave a mate the gel seat and felt the difference alright  :shock: .

Having said that, definitely don't leave it uncovered in the blazing sun

Lucky for me I have a reference point my wife!! without prompting 'What do you think' yea me too I reply  :( ,from taking notice of the tosh on the net :oops:  to buying e'm a 3000 trip and selling e'm back on ebay took all of 4 weeks,but hey you live and learn.

Anyone thinking of trying one,not a problem there's still a reasonable market on ebay,so with luck you should be able to unload e'm without too much of a loss.

For those thinking about them,the first few miles(100/150) were pretty dam good in fact very good, but as the day wore on they were like sitting on a park bench,almost as if they had set solid,I'm cringing even thinking about it,If folk decide to buy just don't pay over the odds,it's not an expensive experiment then.

As for leaving them in the sun :shock:  :D
