Will be heading to south of France \ Italy - think I need to invest in a comfi seat.... Any recommendations on which one I should get? Are there many different types? Brands etc.. Thanks
The Honda one works for me, keep your eye on eBay or on here, they come up for around the £100-110 mark, and the 08 onwards fit 08-014.
Fitted Honda E-cushion today,went for a 150klm ride,its like night and day from the original,apart from the comfort which is superb,on hard braking i no longer have to grip the tank with my inner thighs to stop smashing my bollocks into it....summary ,is it worth the money???,probably not what they charge...i am glad i bought it,i love it it should be standard issue...would recommend to anyone
Somebody recently posted that the honda e-cushion was £170 from his honda dealer or bidding up to £160 on eBay so might aswell stump up for the new one. Andy B
Got a second hand seat off eBay then sent it to James Hope in Falkirk, he recovered it plus extra padding for £80. He's recommended by many on here. I put mine to the test last weekend and what a difference it made. Don't waste yer money on the Honda one I would say.
cheaper way for touring is either cyclist shorts or horse riding shorts underneath your leathers, they both have gel pads on the bum cheeks.... Very comfy for touring.
I did notice that it perched me up slightly higher than the standard seat but for me I'm not bothered about a slight difference to the balance of the bike when riding on the road (like I'd notice), it's more to do with arse longevity in the saddle I'm after. Of course I did also notice that across my shoulders and wrists didn't ache as much either.
