My DRZ is FINALLY comfortable!!!!

[slparry]

Just had the seat on my DRZ windened, refoamed and recovered by a local upholsterer here in the UK, it is AWESOMELY comfortable now compared to the truly awful standard seat.... and best of all it's a fantastic quality job and was a mere 50 UK pounds!!

He's looking for business so anyone interested he'll do the same for you ?

I REALLY cannot stress how much better this is than it was previously!

Nice, but, the pictures are a bit big to be able to see it properly. At least on my laptop anyway.

I left the pics large so as to show the quality of the work

try these links for them

What's the red tube in the first pic under the bars? Seat looks comfy.

[Harvey600]

Is that for hauling it out of the mud? I need some straps for that.

Looks good, smaller view gives a better idea of the overall shape. ?

Looks like a cable lock.

Definitely get a better feel from the smaller pictures. Looks great.

[slparry]

yep a cable lock ?

I usually laugh at the "comfortable seats" on the DRZ. I mean, really? Comfort?

...and then I went and did 200 miles of dual sport riding yesterday, everything from slab to singletrack and now my a$$ is KILLING ME! I would have given most anything for a seat like that yesterday!

Looks good, quality wise. What did he charge you? ?

I'm impressed. On road I could only manage 10 miles before it hurt. Off road spending most of the time stood on the pegs was ok, but the standard seat limited my exploring range ?

Did 50 miles on road toady and blissfully comfy!

Last time I rode 50 mile woth the old seat I think I bruised (at least) my coccyx and found sitting on anything to be uncomfy for two weeks or so

Am really impressed for what you got for £50, I am UK too, do you think he will do a postal service?

do you have any contact details email etc

[Ebbs15]

I'm needing to do something... I did 400 miles yesterday... the last 150 was TORTURE... I was doing the seat dance like crazy. I've got an Air Hawk seat pad... but forgot it...

I think I'm gonna try buying a stock seat of egay... then cut it down, widen it... and add some memory foam... see how I like it...

He may well do, you'd need to call him and chat with him. Mention that Steve recommended his work ? as I said I'd put the word out and he was all for it

His name is Colin and his phone number is 01244 546001. his workshop is in Buckley, Flintshire, North Wales.

Looks great , maybe a bit wide at the front for off road, but definate improvement for long haul

[slparry]

perhaps so but it does'nt seem too bad when standing on the pegs or with a foot down etc, and it does support your thighs at the front nicely too, plus I still have my gel seat to pop on if I'm off for a day over the Welsh mountains ?

[imlose]

is this one of those vibration seats? They are only made for the drz's.

Pardon, I don't understand what you're saying?

[Neil Claydon]

How did he widen the seat pan to support the foam ?

On road I could only manage 10 miles before it hurt.

You need more practice

I did more 350 mile days than I can remember and several 750 mile day rides, with a cut down stock seat.

I generally ride in Devon but once a year a group of us head out to Wales to sample the Sarn Helen, Gap and Strata Florida area - beautifully country.

Any chance you could you give me some pointers on other area's to ride?

Cheers, Rich.
