hi tony archer is the man for seats.  and reasonable.

This bloke will sort your seat how YOU want it not how somebody else thinks you do 
Its a bit of a trek for you but worth it when you feel how much more comfy you are on the way back
while you wait service (phone first)
Highly Recomended

Hi blokes,

Similar situation here, but I don't want to modify my existing seat - I want to keep it for day-to-day and then have something softer and wider for long-distance riding. That means any of the local seat rebuilders that rely on hacking up your existing seat won't work for me.

Has anyone had any experience with Sargent, Corbin or any other locally-made replacement options?

Sargent and Corbin can be dear - how about http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Suzuki-V-Strom-DL650-2014-Dual-Seat-Saddle-Sitz-Fits-L2-to-L6-/302252090624?hash=item465fa0e500:g:BokAAOSw241YUSSR
and get Tony Archer or another bike seat specialist to build to your spec?

[EvilRacer329]

Intriguing idea; I didn't think OEM seats would be quite that cheap...

Does anyone know any ballpark figures from Tony Archer et al?

Thanks!
Nick

Tony done mine for £95 .... There are pictures on here somewhere. ..... didn't have gel ...... just widened it and flattened it ...... its perfect for my 16 hour day and 600 mile ride outs to Yorkshire
