I had the original flat seat revamped to this!
A bit higher and gell pad fitted.
Still needs breaking in but much more comfortable

 

Are we on the same wavelength here?

 

Put the new seat on, but I've only been able to get in a ride of about 50 miles with it so far. I need to get in a longer ride to better evaluate the comfort factor. Quite a difference in the looks of the bike with the seat installed.

 

Looks a lot nicer than standard that's for sure.
Look at the space in that garage, I would be filling it up with bikes

 

LOL, if I could afford to I would. Had 2 bikes at the same time in the garage a few years back, a Thruxton Ace, and a Ural cT.

 

I tried a bike with the Burton seat and was quite impressed. As it happens I saw a K&Q seat on eBay, together with a touring windscreen at a good price, so I bought those and they work well.

I was also quite favourably impressed with the seat on a current T100, much better than the older type.

I don’t really understand why people are so obsessed with putting their feet down flat. I’m 5’8” with 29” inside leg, I had a Norton Commando “back in the day” which wasn’t s short bike, I’ve had other tall bikes since and really, as long as I don’t actually fall over at traffic lights I’ve never found it to be a problem, especially with electric start.

 

I definitely think the grey top looks good. I was going to have one but ended up buying the K&Q seat because the price was right.

 

Being old enough to have used those bloody awful elasticated seat covers from Halfords, I wouldn’t go back to a stitched seat for any reason!
