beadrider seat cover

[Jeffthechef]

I just completed a 30,000 km, 11 week ride two up around North America on my S10. For the entire trip I have been more then happy with my stock seat but I am now planning on doing some Iron Butt rides once my bike gets back to me in Australia. I am trying to find a distributor of Beadrider seat covers here in Australia. I tried to find someone on the net who sells them here but so far have had no success. I was hoping someone my know of a company here in Australia that sells this brand or something similar.

Consider visiting a local auto parts store and buying / cutting down an automotive version. I've seen it done several times on this side of the pond...saves a few $$$ too!

Good luck!

If a BeadRider is what you want then why not order it from them direct at - http://www.beadrider.com/

After all, they ship internationally, and it seems for reasonable cost - http://www.beadrider.com/frequently-asked-questions/ - where it says"

"Do you ship international and how much does it cost?

Yes. We have shipped BeadRider seats to nearly every country in the world with very few problems. We ship via USPS Airmail for orders less than 4 pounds ($16 US). This would include all single seats and Classic sets. All Ultimate sets (over 4 pounds) are shipped USPS Priority Mail ($35). International shipments usually take 5-10 business days to get to you."

Seems pretty reasonable, and buying from the manufacturer assures you're getting the real thing rather than taking a chance on getting a lesser quality knock-off.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that info, I did not see that on the web sight. I have just ordered it and shipping is said to be only 5-10 days. Thanks again for the input

Do theses really help. I have never sat on one but it looks uncomfortable... I just imagine my bony butt jamming into a few of those beads and creating pressure points...

I am taking a chance at buying one but for the cost it will be worth the gamble. While on my recent trip I saw many of them on touring bikes and is endorsed by the Iron Butt Association. Also it is quite easy to fit on and to take off if it becomes annoying.

I have had a beadrider for a number of years now, and I tend to use it mostly in hot, humid weather, as it allows air to circulate under one's nether regions, and therefore helps prevent that dreaded monkey butt. The beads are surprisingly comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. YMMV.

Mine was a noticeable improvement over my stock FJR seat. I still have my beadrider, though often choose my Airhawk pad for longer rides. Cushy comfort.

I have a Beadrider sitting in my closet collecting dust which I tried on my R1200RT at the time. Yes it does flow more air than under your tush. What I didn't like was the when I rolled the throttle hard or hit the brakes hard, my ass would either move backward or forward. To me, that was a safety issue.
Lots of people to like em though. YMMV
