If you read my earlier posts about buying the 800RE & having the Suzuki rails & panniers fitted, that sit higher than the seat & were rubbing against the good ladies legs, then this is the outcome .... ish.
We had the seat reupholstered to raise the pillion section 2" to compensate for Suzuki's poor ergonomics. Today was the first day we could get out to give it a proper test.
We fitted the panniers & set off for a ride into North Derbyshire in search of food. All was well with the new seat regarding Deb's problems. Her legs still touched the panniers but weren't pressing/rubbing as before. The seat is also more comfortable. So far so good.
However, for me, the way the seat has been 'made' with a very vertical bit right behind me it is pressing into the small of my back. Despite feeling OK I think it will eventually annoy me too much & it will have to go back for alteration.
It was a great day out, the weather was excellent & we managed to find food & drink.
Photos to prove it happened & one close up of the bike to show the seat.
