A Pain In The butt

[phild]

Has anyone had their seat recovered or had a custom one made,preferably by a supplier in the North West area.
I was thinking of looking into a new seat with a bit more comfort.
As I get older it seems the ability to ignore butt ache is diminishing alot sooner.

Any ideas anyone . Cheers Phil

I had the seat of my Yamaha FZR750RT Genesis recovered by R.K. Leighton, http://www.rk-leighton.co.uk/
They did a really top job for £70 including postage (18 months ago). They added an additional layer of foam which made a big difference.
Hope this helps,

Couldnt entertain a softer saddle, its the only thing that stops my piles falling out and making friends with my knees..........

Had my FZS600 seat covered by this guy a few years back-did a great job. Cost £35 at the time.

haven't had my Storm one done, but have had seats on my other bikes done by Tony Archer http://www.tonyarcher.co.uk/ always done a cracking job and none too expensive either, also uses quality Gelpads (if you require them fitted) rather than some of the lesse quality pads fitted by others

Hey better late than never, wasn't until I posted up I saw I had been pipped to the post...curses....still 2 better recommendations better than one!!!

Only worry is I heard on grapevine that Tony is none too well at present, and therefore there may be some delay if one requires a Tony Archer seat.

its 3 votes for Tony Archer now. I had him do my storm seat with higher foam and gel pads front & rear, then a new cover to suit. Not cheap at £200, but I wanted someting that didnt change the lines of the bike.

Looks like this
.

I still have to move about to stop numb elbow by 100 miles, but it is beter than before. May well be that I dont have enough padding on my butt
