Bloody seat: pain the bum (gen1) - b1k3rdude - 13-05-12
Like some, after 30mins the left side of my bum begins to ache. I believe its either the riding pos or the seat, as my bandit 600 dosent cause the same type/level of discomfort etc, so...
1. is it a riding position issue (which I am leaning towards) that maybe fixed by changing the rider foot peg, bum and handlebar positions..?
2. is there any more that can be done to the stock seat that will help (fyi I have tried with a local upholster, with changed profiles etc (lower, different density foam etc)and it just made it worse)
Last resort is I go and buy an air hawk and have inflated just enough to keep my 'sit bones' from touching the fazer seat etc.

Where abouts are you? Have you read about Tony Archer at Huddersfield? Google his name, many good reviews for less £ than an inflatable cushion.

I'm in the south east, and your suggestion reminded me my last fazer had a gel insert and that didn't help either the beanbag idea looks like its worth a punt though ;-)
