So, an update....

While the stock Slim seat with my gel insert it MUCH better than stock, I've recently switched back to my Deluxe seat.

It's just so much more comfortable that although the slim seat is now better, the deluxe seat is a different level.

Invent motorcycle pants with an air inflatable or gel insert A$$$ area, and any seat will do......





My London trip was ok Stinkerbill... My big night out was with co workers, went to brick lane and ate Indian food... took awhile to find a restaurant willing to post their cleanliness rating... We Found a "4". Had to make sure it was a real sign..lol

I really did some homework on my Slim before I bought it, and I think the biggest complaint I found was the stock seat. Personally, I really like the stock seat, and I think it's pretty comfortable.

However there is a caveat to this: I had been using a Le Pera Bare Bones on a Sportster 48 for two years, and anything is bound to be comfortable after that.

Yeah Brick lane sure ain't what it was. Too many dodgy curry houses, not enough proper good ones!

You laugh, but they exist for cyclists. Easily used under jeans for a moto rider.
