Got a line on a RSD Cafe seat but is it more comfortable than the stocker?

Did you have to say megaphones. I'm drooling at the thought of twin megs, one each side now. My wife will kill you!

Cool

I can't find any photos of it at present, but my first new bike was a 250cc BSA with clip-ons, swept-back exhaust pipe and a megaphone......

Here's one I prepared earlier, in the same mould:

Thumbs up

Nice one! Twin megas as well! The gas tank looks like a Manx Norton one, or a copy.

Looks good, maybe after a couple of rides the seat will break-in and get more comfortable.

I did a 300 mile day on my rsd seat which looks less padded than yours, it was fine, I couldn't have done it with the stock seat

Well it took me an hour and half to gte to work today. When I got here i realised I didn't ache, so maybe I've broken it in? Sadly though i had a wet ****, so assume the seat material holds water in someway or another???

No, your trousers leak! I have a Corbin and discovered recently that the cushion under the cover is encased in a waterproof bag, for want of a better description. I only get a wet bum if I don't dry the seat before riding and also don't wear waterproofs. It sounds as if the cushion on yours isn't water-proofed and the stitching is letting in water.
