DP Gel / Comfort Seat

10-04-2009, 11:08 AM

I recently bought a new DP seat from ebay, I was very happy at paying only £70 including shipping

So I went for a little ride out the other day with it on, I got to say what a big difference it makes. The ride feels so smooth, like it's got new rear suspension.

Just a little question, I normally sit quite forward on the seat with my legs hugging the tank. Do people do the same on the DP seat or sit back and use the backrest bit? I guess what ever feels most comfortable.

I also had to do the quick mod of putting a a pair washers under the latch to make it fit.

Just sit wherever is comfy.

Keep an eye on the latch fitting at the back of these seats,sometimes they dont click home properly, an easy fix, take off the latch mechanism and put a couple of washers to raise it up slightly.

Just noticed you beat me to the washer fix.

I sit as far back as I can. It stops my credentials getting harmed if I brake hard or hit a pothole. The seat is more comfortable than the standard and took a while to get used to. I also find it grips my seat a lot more preventing me from sliding about.

I usually sit back a bit but what ever suits really.
The best thing I ever bought for my Monster, can ride all day now without chronic @rse ache.

Keep your bike out of the sun when you are not sitting on it
