I just got a black sheepskin off eBay and cut it to size.

This company used to do them https://www.lambland.co.uk although cant see them on the website now. Had mine from there although it was in 2012.

The OE seat is fine when new, but after a few years the foam sags and bum ache quickly sets in.
I got mine upgraded and recovered many years ago by P&P seating ltd.  So long ago in fact that it could do wi being recovered again.  Anyway, they upgraded it by using one of their gel packs which doesn’t sag like foam, so many years later it’s still comfy mile after mile, except;
At the mo it’s too hot tae ride to work in full leathers, so just got my jeans on.  I get to work and then the bike sits outside all day in the sun.  So that gel pack has all day to absorb the heat from the sun.  My arse gets foccing toasted on the ride back hame.

I've just invested in a gel pad thingy.The insert can be removed and kept out of sunlight to lower the chances of heat transfer later in the day  :rollin :rollin :rollin Will report results after the weekend.

After having temps of up to 32 degrees here in Scottoland, keeping your arse dry on a motorcycle is a real challenge, let alone numbness.

Right, 500 miles in a day then another 300 the following day using the Airhawk inflatable cushion thing. I've got to say, its really good. The limiting factor now is the pain i get from my pelvis where i broke it at Mallory about 15 years ago. I could never ride far enough for it to really kick in before, the pain from my arse always forced me to stop first. Now 160 mile non stop runs are ok.


You don't have to blow them up very much at all to get the comfort, it fact it feels flat. but once you are sat on it and get the inflation just right its bloody great. I'm going to ask him to sell it to me.


The best comfort thing ive ever used. 

[dickturpin]

That's good to know...
The is what I acquired to try on my next long jaunt....

Possibly use it under a sheepskin rug cover.

did the scottish highland ride about a month ago.
did 1400 miles over 6 days.
I suffer badly with numb bum syndrome.
50 or 60 miles then I start to feel it.
tried a/hawk,gel pad etc no joy but these worked for me......
can go twice the distance before I need to get off.
