Possibly use it under a sheepskin rug cover.

Having a garage clearout and found my honda cb 400/4 supersport , took it out of the garage washed it and put it in the shed , thats the furthest its travelled in many many years..........

Hey Red... I had a red one of those in the late 70s..it's number isn't 97R is it??... that'd be a coincidence!

one of they wee hairy sheepskin covers.....i toured around france on my speed triple with not one sore arse....without the cover...ride about 20 mile...sore arse

Yes..that could be the answer....

Well, so far I have put off buying the leather cover when I found some concerning reviews of the seller and their products....so, I have fitted the pump bulb thing to a length of silicone tube and connected it to one of those wholly inflatable seat cushions. I just needed an alternative to have with me on those ' long journey days ' in the saddle. This arrangement folds down flat for minimal space when not in use. I may use the sheepskin on top of it.....and of course the height is adjustable with the rubber pump bulb. I feel that the main improvement will be the ability to vary the seated position on all day journeys.
I have also added extra foam to the front of the seat to reduce the tendancy to be pushed forward in the standard seat design.

I almost have all the bits I need.
I cut the seat into sections to make shaping the foam a lot easier.


I'm going to have 2 adjustable air pockets under the rider seat and gel pads front and back. Then a 1" section of foam over the top and reshape it back to how I want it.

Looking good. Have you seen the link I have just posted to a leather cover I'm interested in?

Hi Red..  Yes hoping for something simple like that... Did clear the fault code. Think I'll try running some Wynns injector cleaner and see where that takes me. Will also try some contact cleaner on the connecting plugs.

Guys...thoughts on this would be appreciated....
My DD has a two year old astra 1 litre petrol, about 35k on the clock. It's started showing engine management light and after scanning with Bluetooth sensor and torque app shows code p0303 which is engine misfire on cylinder 3. I have swapped plug and coil pack with cylinder 1 but fault code remains unchanged so I'm thinking possible injector issue??
Is it likely that redex would clear it or is there something better? I know she uses supermarket fuel and does run the tank low
Any other thoughts??

buy a cast iron ass cover.

Hey!... we'll be the envy of you all when we have adjustable comfy seats!...

mmmmmmmmm  got me thinking too....

A bit more than thinking going on there Red!

I do have an interesting idea for fitting some adjustability.... Cheap cheap air wedge.. And if it doesn't work, I just leave it deflated with the seat standard.

Now that looks like an interesting idea...

6' tall so knee comfort is an issue later in a long journey but biggest problem for me is butt ache! I may try some sort of foam top-up cushion...those shorts mentioned look interesting though.

I had a free trial of bifocal contact lenses through Specsavers....I found that the close up vision was good but I felt it compromised distance vision so went back to standard contact lenses.
Ask for a trial....they may be ok for you.
