    Looking for some help please- the single seat on my Thruxton gets really uncomfortable after about an hour giving me painful jacksey :worried: and necessitating regular stops
    Has anyone found the Thruxton 1200 comfort dual seat more comfortable than the standard single seat?
    Looked at reviews and can’t find an answer:(

    Hi Jack yes I did think of getting a custom job or fitting a gel pad myself, so I’ve ordered the dual comfort and will then look at getting the stock seat upgraded
    How hard can it be to cut a hole in a piece of foam fill it with gel, and staple it back together:confused:

    Although I don't find my thruxton that uncomfortable it would be interesting to have a chat with Tony Archer; do you have his contact details @Smilinjack :) :)
