Being considering buying one of these since I got the blade, as when I do go out it's normally for a days riding or a long ride to work (Portsmouth - London). Are they worth it or not, as they're not cheap........... Honest Opinions please.
Jim in my opinion a comfort seat is well worth having, just not the Honda one. There is a guy on Ebay who'll re-upholster your existing seat for around £50 and can make it even more plush than the Honda one. Here is the one he did for me along side the standard one as I bought a used seat of ebay and had it posted direct to him to re-trim and then he posted on to me. When I sell the Blade I'll reuse the new seat (if it still fits a newer model, and if I do indeed buy another Blade) and sell mine with the original seat.
Honestly I can say it was better but still not comfortable for me.I need more gel in the front so will look at getting mine completely upholstered. Have you got a link for the guy who did yours Sinewave?
Here's some contact details if you want to give him a call? His names Jimmy Hope and he's an ex Coach Fitter/Upholsterer so doing Bike seats is a piece of Piss compared to what he used to do. He'll do the Pillion as well for another £20 or so and also do colours and logo's if ya want. 07833 711547 [email protected] Some other examples of his work!
got my name down to mine, hopefully pop over next week, fancy get it custom a wee bit, are there any other examples kicking around
I've got the honda comfort seat jim and it is a great product! My knees ache far sooner than my arse does
I bought a genuine Honda one from ebay, about £90 in perfect condition. Well worth it. Remember, one can sell it on when you upgrade to the sp version!
