Butt therapy

[roy]

Ok the S10 seat is pretty good BUT the forward slope and se heat has me squirming in no time and I hate the gripper seat. So a friend offered me his Bead Rider off his C14, perfect fit for the S10 imo. No listing on their site for S10. Anyway much better! I am buying from him he wants a larger size.

SpeedStar came up with a brilliant fix for the seat ..

That is the one that fits the Concours 14 and they call it the 13"x13" on their application chart. The 14" might work better if you have a big bottom.

I have taken the 14" beads off my goldwing and put them on. Its an improvement but eventually, I will have to do more. But not sure what. Probably need to change the shape of the seat and use a different type of foam and seat cover. I am good for 2 hours on the beads but more becomes an ordeal and an endurance test.

Thanks for the info. The 13X13 looks like the right size regardless of the size of my butt. It is already wrapping around the edge in your pic.

I did 600 miles Friday on it not a problem. Ride 170 today another 600 planned tomorrow.

I did the seat mod suggested above, and now have cut off about the same amount on the original rubber standoffs. But, the grippy seat cover is a little nagging after some miles. The other extreme would be corbin type seat cover, it will let you slide anywhere you wish. LOL

I have an appointment tomorrow with a local upholstery shop that is going to make a replacement seat cover out of vinyl for $35. I may send the original to Sargent to have one made of a better material, but I have to get off of the gripper stuff now.
