Hi folks,
Well, after a few weeks with my Tenere I'm still loving the bike but I'm hating the seat. I did not enjoy the seat the first weekend I took the bike out but I figured I'd give it time with some longer rides just to make sure my own butt was broken back in some. I'm no stranger to long 1000+ miles rides and I never had to change out the stock seat on my V-Strom but I have had bad seats before...including the stock seat on an older ST1300 (horribly painful) and the stock seat on an '05 R1200GS. Okay I'm blabbing on...long story short...I hate the stock Tenere seat and my butt is killing me after a measly 150+ miles.
So, I'm searching for a new seat and I know I do not like the Russell Day Long wheelchair look (hope I don't offend anyone). I had a Sargent on my old '05 R1200GS and that still wasn't as comfy as the stock seat on my old DL1000 V-Strom. I rode a Russell Day Long on a friend's ST1300 a few times and loved the comfort but just can't live with the looks.
The only other 'popular' brand of seat I've never owned/tried is a Corbin. Any thoughts on the Corbin for the Tenere and would you mind offering up some good feedback if so? I'm 5'9" and roughly 190 lbs.
Any suggestions are much appreciated and I really hope to get some good guidance soon because my Tenere's stock seat keeps bucking me off and keeping me from enjoying my new ride!
