Title: Riders Seat
Post by: M4RTIN on 30 May 2014, 10:58:11 am

Hi Guys


When i first got the Fazer8 i found the riders seat very hard. So i went on eBay and found a second hand one from an earlier bike. I was going to send it off and have it redone. But i have found that the earlier seat (pre 2012)  is much softer than the 2013-14 seat, and seems to lift a bit more at the front to give a bit more support. 


hope this info help someone as the new model seat is very hard on the A**.

Good info there M4RTIN. I have to wear padded cycling shorts under my leathers on longer rides.
Looks like I'm wearing a full nappy, but my cheeks are perfectly preserved:P

I didn't think the 2010 seat was very good so had a gel pad inserted in it plus another on top. I posted elsewhere
