Depending on how you ride of course, you may want a little bit of slip there to move around on the seat for bends etc. :thumbup:

The thought of a pillion wearing rubber mesh puts me right off, tbh.
Or, on the other hand, depending on the pillion:

Not sure where the armour fits.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Leather trousers are so much better than textile. More breathable in hot weather and more grip.

Their stuff looks good, my recovered seat with 2 gel pads was £180 from tOny and would be £210 from saddlecraft, so similar in pricing, but tony wins :thumbup:

Ok so I keep slideing down seat and bashing my balls :lol:
And to be honest getting on my nerves now it's as though my privates are always crushed against tank permanent is there a soloution like better seat gippy stuff help much appreciated as I want to tour lakes this year some time
You could always consider castration - only as a last resort mind :)

Seriously though, I know it's an annoying problem, it's either a case of getting the seat more grippy or getting your butt more grippy, if you get both grippy you will probably end up with too little movement when you need it.
