Hi - newbie from England here **picture added**

Well I'm still the new guy
Obviously I've been adding a couple of goodies to the bike.
More to come too.
Givi Trekker Outback panniers should be here Tuesday (22nd April).
I changed the screen. Noticeably less wind noise now.
That seat has GOT to go!! Only managed a quick ride today. 120 miles but my ass said it felt like 1,000!!
I'm looking at the breathable Touratech unit ... unless there is anything better out there.
I have a trip to Romania planned for late July / early August and I would like to get back NOT walking like John Wayne

I would also consider 2 other options;-
1) Have you thought of Tony Archer ? http://www.tonyarcher.co.uk/ - both Rasher and I have had ours done and has made a difference. He adds whatever you want - extra firmness foams or gel if you want and any colour or trimmings you wish for; ie. fully customised and very helpful guy.

2) Have you got the settings right? By nature, these seats tip forward slightly and squash crown jewels against the tank sometimes . Depending on your style of course. Search on this forum and there are a few good tips on getting it level and better riding position. ( I simply relocated the rubber bungs under the seat adjuster and made a world of difference because its now " level ".

My 2p .

cheers

Thanks for that info. I'll have a look.
It's more a case that I find the seat too firm. I get monkey butt after about 50 miles
About 10 years ago I had a custom seat made by 'Outback' in Pershore, Worcs for a cruiser (Triumph Bonneville America) I had.
That seat was as comfy as a comfy thing. 2" of memory foam. You could ride all day long with it and still walk afterwards
