Seat options

[noroomtomove]

This is a rehash of a contribution I made a while ago regarding seats, a mate rides a Bonneville and he gives the AIrhawk a good rap. He retired from work last month and he only rides for short distances these days and thats cool aching bones age eyesight and that kind of stuff catches up with us all eventually.

He has told me that when he was a young bloke 40 years ago he does not recall thinking about bike seat comfort.

He puts it down to having his mind on other things.

He had a job in Brisbane and his folks lived in Tassie back when you crossed the Strait on the Empress of Australia and he did the trip on his bike more than once. Back then air travel ( as a side not at least he would not have needed to take his shoes of before flying back then) within Australia was big dollars and out of reach for a bloke swinging spanners.



Personally just suck it up and add to what it is to ride a bike, when the Sun is shining on a hot day I don't long for the Utes AC.

When it rains I eventually get wet, I know some blokes do not ride in the rain or when the conditions are just not so and that's fine by me.

Hope you find the seat your searching for.

Feel good about it, doing your bit to stimulate the word economy.

Another ride in a pea soup fog this morning and not a Wombat in sight only one more week till midwinter.

That is a Dart.

The Dart Fly Screen. The smallest version available . It does little more than keep the bugs off the instrument cluster but that's exactly what I bought it for. Exceedingly well made. Stable. And the mounts it came with are an upgrade over the stock ones( IMO). They appear to be milled.

Consider Seth Laam Seats. I got mine last year. Fantastic!

Gentlemen,

Last week I tried all three of my seats again. A K&H mid seat, the stock seat, and my Chip Beck Spec Corbin. After 3 half hour rides with each seat the choice was again obvious. Corbin is the most comfortable seat for both rider and passenger. Renea prefers it and so do I by a big margin. I can ride 3 hour freeway legs with it. I normally sit up toward the tank and I slide back into the Corbin's wide rear depression at freeway speeds when I want to lean forward more into the wind.

For a multi-day ride I use an Airhawk. Day rides, even big days, OEM suits. I'm not fussed about changing the seat. But Cick design is looking more attractive for day rides. It has some carrying capacity and I like the look. Each to his own i guess.

Cheers

What's an Airhawk?

That is a DART Fly Screen. Been looking at windshields too!

Sorry, didn't realize he already answered you.

An Airhawk is a seat cushion. Inexpensive and effective. Well, I think so. See [url=http://www.airhawk.net]here.
