Man, makes me appreciate my seat so much more..Mine is nice and comfy.

post a pic of that nice comfy seat. I wanna see if yours is different, or if you just have an iron butt!

Yeah right now my seat is like riding on a walnut, maybe I can find that gel seat at one of the local wal-marts. :wink:

No iron buttocks here...Matter of fact I really don't have a butt at all

Just click the thumb.

I found it in the ATV section where they have the helmets. It was in the automotive area. They come rolled up with a red label around them.

Been to 8 different Walmart stores and have never found one of these for sale. Bought one from a guy on ADVrider.com

We'll see how they work.

It makes all the difference in comfort for me. The stocl seat was like a board.

It may be a regional Wal-mart item. The rednecks ride ATVs here.

I'm hoping my pad arrives tomorrow. the woman on the phone said she would try to get it to me by the weekend.

I looked at those pads at Walmart awhile back but passed because they seemed too hard--but it's hard to say for sure until you try one. I think they are some sort of foam and not a gel pad.

Just looking at that seat makes my butt feel better! Reminds me of the way the seats were on the old enduros.

I have a gel pad. It ain't all that great, but it helps change the pressure points on the ol' rear. On the Diamo, it helps keep the vibs off my private parts. That gets REAL irritating. Now, if I was a girl.....

katoranger · 06-29-2007, 05:41 PM

It probably is not gel, but it does help. Less vibes transferred and I think it makes the seat cooler with some air channels underneath.

I still have only put about 5km on it.

I actually like the way this bike is styled, The seat is like any older street bike and it rides like one...Just wish it was faster

To bad it is old news and will never be made again...I will miss it when it dies.

I put a gel pad and memory foam in my seat and I can go 200km and still be enjoying it. It really works and is well worth the cost and effort.

IronFist · 06-30-2007, 08:46 PM

I think my seat wins the cheapo prize. I'd fix it but I want to change it completely. AZ nice seat, and nice tires too.

Very street. I'm going to get 5 months to tinker in the winter, but besides rejetting the carb, everything I want to change on my bike is for looks and ride comfort, not really mechanical.
