    My ass hurts (I'm asking for trouble) and need a new seat for my SV650 K3.

    does anyone have one fitted?

    are they any good?

    where can you get one in Sydney?

    Regards

    Mr Killer

    Get the donkey to the vet and see why it hurts.
    Usually trying to put a donkey on a motorcycle will cause the animal pain.
    Maybe we should call the rspca?

    I have an SV650s
    I hug the tank.
    So after 250 klms the square edges at the front of the seat do cut in and
    numb stuff.
    I have heard of... (In order of bucks required)
    1./ Corbin brand Gel seats solving the problem.
    2./ Put a sheepskin on it.
    3./ Take the seat off, the vinyl skin is only stapelled on.
    Take a knife to the foam seat profile and or add a softer foam layer.
    Attach the vinyl seat cover again.
    Maybe get a motor trimmer to do that job ?

  4. In regards to the ass, try dangling a carrot off a fishing rod, in front of
    its nose, in the direction you want it to travel. Then you won't have to
    whip it so hard.

    In regards to girlie bike, bike seats, Conehead swears blind that a layer of
    bubble wrap helps. Stops the blood marking the upholstery too.
    So are you a knockout, Janet or just related to Michael Jackson?

    I tried to get a gelseat for the Bandit ,they are an option on Bandits
    in the US .The gel seat is not available in Oz and I tried to get one
    from the US ,but no one would ship to Oz.

    My recommendation is

    Send the seat to John Moorehouse and get him to re-foam and upholster it .
    You'll be glad you did ,I'm glad I did .

  10. You could just buy a seatcover from Suzuki and get BT to fill it with "gel"
    for you...
