aftermarket seats

[AshesOfAnother]

I love this bike. In my opinion it's more comfortable to ride than the gixxers, and it's not something you see every day. Most of the time I have to tell people what my bike is. I dig that. As for the seat thing. The cover is just stapled down. Take it to an upolstry guy and have it redone. Couple hundo to have gel inserted and a nice vinyl cover is what my guy quoted me. The vinyl I use on my bikes is snowmobile seat grade, so it handle weather very well, with blue thread to match the bike. I'll get around to it after the projector project is done.

Quick update on the aftermarket seat. I never heard back from Shad about their GSR750 comfort seat so I ended up ordering one from Amazon UK for $300.00 US. I have no clue how long its going to take to get here but as soon as it does I'll give a review on it.

New seat came in today. I ordered it last Thursday and it arrived at my office from the UK today. I'm pretty shocked how quickly it got here. I'll make a new thread with a review after I get it installed and get some miles on it.

I ordered mine from here: www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00TQU33TU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had it shipped global express and it should be here by Wed. The final price, and this includes shipping and taxes is $405CAD
A small price to pay if it takes away the pain I'm getting in my perineum from the stock seat. After about 40 min. I have to start standing and then every 15 min. after that.
It's too bad that the pilon has that big R embroidered on it.

I too had an email exchange w/  Saddleman. I also got the"We aren't making anything" BS.
Luv the bike. Great commuter & fun on long Sat rides just gotta find a seat. Use heavier Enduro shorts. A bit more padding buy still hating the seat by days end

I found it cheaper to order from Europe then the U.S., only four days to get to my door as well.

[AshesOfAnother]

What was the final cost?

[madman]

Cost for a large box containing rear solo seat, lower cowling and windshield freight import tax all in $65

[madman]

That's the 15% Canadian taxes , import tax and shipping included.

[madman]

The whole thing was $640 , the solo seat and lower cowling are more here in Canada and then there's import tax from U.S. and the 15% Canadian yet, figure a good $150 cheaper and a nicer style and perfect match no matter which color you order. Suzuki wants $650 for the lower cowling alone and it comes in white only!!! Not.
