4th point of contact = back side = butt = ........
(from Airborne training - the 4th part of your body that is supposed to contact the ground during a PLF)

Okay bergers---after about 10-15 min in the saddle of my 2008 FE550 - I am reminded that my berg seat is only SLIGHTLY better than my 440 Canondale seat, which was nothing but a brick covered in sandpaper. :cuss:
Love the bike but the seat flat SUCKS!!
:angry:


so
where can I send my seat off to,

or purchase out right a kind to my 4th point saddle that will let me log some miles, off road as well as some on road?

Guts foam okay?

Any others?

I dont mind purchasing a complete set up or doing the stapling myself.

Thanx!!

Hi HR,
The Guts tall-n-soft is a huge improvement from stock imo. I bought the foam and sourced out cover material cuz I didn't like what Guts had and figured I wouldn't be able to get the stock cover stretched over the taller foam.
BTW, it feels really nice. :mrgreen:

Hope this helps.

super!

Thanx!

Hey Berger...
I was down your way a couple of weeks ago, flew into Tuscon and drove down to Ft Huachuca.
Except...
IT SNOWED ON MY BUTT...

Whats with that?
:mrgreen:

I got in late to Tuscon, about 830 so when I turned off 10 to head down to Sierra Vista it was oh...945 or so...

about a mile past the turn off......i started seeing white stuff floating in my headlights...NO WAY>>>>>>>>>>CANT BE SNOW............

yup
what a mess......and I rented a mustang!

LOL

Not sure if this helps but I went to a standard tall seat on my 550 and found it to be far more comfortable, don't know if was more the foam type over the different shape but it only starts to get a little painful after 130+ klm's off road which is pretty good,

Good luck with getting it sorted
 
Im tore between the

regular

or

tall

foam

I am putting on a set of fastway F3 pegs - low and back

Im 6'3" and my back doesnt like being hunched over

Im leaning to the tall like you mentioned...
and
actual foam, not a red brick covered in vinyl :mrgreen:

I have had both Guts tall and Seat Concepts seats. I am a sit down rider and recommend Seat Concepts over Guts.
 
The tall seat works well for me....I'm a stand up rider but as you know you're up and down all time, I'm 6'1, running SX bend magura's lifted up and rolled pretty well forward and the height and shape seems a good combination.
 
Happy Berger!

Guts
Tall
Soft with Gripper seat cover arrived today.

foam feels like my memory foam bed.
:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

going to get the adhesive tomorrow...then stapler her up.

My legs are off and on to LT Racing for his magic carpet treatment.
Then
a Lithium battery

Fastway F3 pegs

will be this years mods for the Swede Sex Bomb!
