Gel Seat

I can tell you tomorrow
I bought the gel seat for £47 odd quid and fitted it today to my 2016 R
Tomorrow will be the first ride on it
It doesn't feel any different to the standard one when I pocked it with my finger...

 

WoT will have acquired old stock from Triumph at knock down price. We similar at Woburn from time to time.

 

Good Post!!!! Just got a dual Gel seat for my 2015 Speed Triple R for £40.80 (& a half price hoody)
Thanks for the heads up.

 

Just had someone call in for one of those Bonnie gel seats but unfortunately now out of stock at Triumph. WoT must have got the last ones. Lots of other stuff still available including the high level exhaust I put on my Street Twin for £750 last year at employee discount, now £125 (gutted).

Used my bike with the gel seat today for the first time and tbh I didn't notice any difference at all

Just the same as the original, I did check the part numbers just incase it was a gel seat already fitted and they are different

 

If it is any help I fitted one of these:

under my Bonnie seat cover. For £40 it has transformed a tired (at best) foam base and made it measurably more comfortable. You need to unpick the staples at the front and for about 25cm down one side (10” for people like me!) slide it in and staple up again.

 

I've made the same purchase in the WoT sale for my 2017R, I'm not convinced there's a great deal of difference to the standard seat from the 40 odd miles I've ridden on it, I'll stick with it for now to get used to it then maybe swap back to the standard seat to compare

 

I've had a gel seat on my 2011 Speedy for over a year, found it to all day comfortable. My wife is now using my 2011 after I purchased a new RS, she's happy with it too' longest ride, about 120 miles so far

Got a comfort seat on my 2012 .most done 370 miles in a day. Definitely more comfortable.

 

Apparently the gel seat works and you won't find the difference by feel of hand. You won't feel much of a difference on shorter rides however on longer rides the gel seats stops your bum going numb. I haven't personally tried it so can't vouch for it. I will take the word from members who have actually used them. I have ordered a comfort seat for my Street Triple and it's on back order.

 

i must be in the minority as i find the standard seat really comfortable
