    Hi folks!

    I'm off on my first European adventure in 3 weeks, Spain and back through France.

    Question is, as I can't afford a new gel seat and can't find a second hand one anywhere, what are my options for not getting a broken backside! Is anybody aware of any trimmers/upholsters in or around Birmingham that can re stuff my existing seat with something comfortable at a reasonable cost please?:(

    Give Melvin a call at
    http://www.motorbike-seats.co.uk

    He gelled the stock Blade seat a couple of months back for about £100 - nice and comfy now! He also supplied my Pan seat 18 months back which has more than paid its way over 10000+ miles

    Cheers for the links bud, I should have said my bike is a 2006. Not sure if other newer year seats fit?

    No problem unsure on 12+ seats if they would fit, don't think so, but would look on eBay for a Corbin or Sargent 06 seat.

    Newer seats have the fixing points at the sides where ours are the back, also newer ones look bigger
