EFI Speedmaster Seat

Welcome to the club!

Some folks don't have a problem with the stock seats on the Speedy and America but a lot do.

I ended up buying one of these



I found it significantly better than the stock seat and my wife reckons the pillion is also better.

The other thing that helped me was to fit footboards which gave me more options to move my feet about so I didn't get locked into one position.

It's good for maybe a couple of hours but for my 2500 mile summer tour I used an Airhawk which was brilliant.

Cheers

my seat's lovely & comfy - I think it's just the standard seat for the America , but I've never suffered & always get off feeling fine - not done any proper touring as yet but covered some decent enough distances to make a judgement I think

 

I have similar seat issues and will always consider folkbloke's thoughts as he's a top contributor. Fb what is that seat you have please?

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence :wink:

Seats and screens are always an issue and everyone is different. Dodge74 says he finds the seat comfortable whereas I thought it was an instrument of torture :smile:

I bought a Norman Hyde seat.

A lot better than the original but not cheap.

I've heard of people having their seats rebuilt or going down the Corbin route. The problem is that unless you've been able to try out a seat you're going on someone else's opinion. If you ever find yourself in Brighton you're welcome to try out the Norman Hyde seat.

 

have to admit that the norman hyde seat does looks very nice , the pillion looks good too. My pillion seat is separate & is a little bit wobbly , I don't really bother with pillions much but if I did something would have to be sorted with it I should imagine

 

Just noticed the chrome grab rail above the shock on your machine - I assume you have a centre stand fitted like me? Please advise where you purchased it as it is just what I need for my own bike. Pete

 

I changed my America seat for a gel Speedmaster seat and it's been fine.

 

Pete, I cheated with the photo. It's not my bike but the publicity photo from the Norman Hyde site! A little search on the site turned up this. It's not a grab rail but a lifting handle for when you have a centre stand (which sounds like what you want)

I got rid of the fugly Triumph seat and got this. No bells and whistles,
about half an inch of comfort but i love it.
