IXXRA......The Home Of The Superblackbird

Greetings campers! I'm picking up my BB on Sat, consequently I am knew to this site and keen to pick up as much info as possible. As always with these forum's apologies if I am missing old threads or on the wrong part of the site. What I woud like to know is if all the seats are the same?

Only asking as there is a seat on flea bay that I want to buy and send off to get customised with some gel inserts as I am getting old!!

Lots of people change their seats as it's generally accepted that the stock seat is a tad uncomfy.

I personally had a melboy gel seat on mine and it was as comfy as your favourite armchair.

Other people have other seats and swear by them equally, so it isn't a case of one size fits all. It might be worth trying out a few of the options before you part with your cash.

And to

Hi Hugh

Thanks for advice, if you have any links to the webite of the people that customised your seat that would be muchly appreciated!

Can you confirm that any BB seat will fit any bike or have they changed with each new model that has been introduced?

Personally I was refering to this part of his question, so no need to buy another bloody seat!!!!!

hi, Sat Nav,

yes, they are the same apart from the later bikes having a slightly different covering on them.

i personally found the standard seat fine but my wife got numb bum on it so i replaced it with a gel seat (viper) and to be truthful, i wouldn't go back.

so in short, standard seat good for me but gel more comfy.

try the standard one for a while before you part with the hard earned.

hope this helps

Sorry........I was just merely pointing out that having asked twice, nobody had actually answered the question!!

With his new found info, I reckon Mr Scatman can go and buy his seat off fleabay with confidence!!

Thanks everyone, I got the answers I needed, now you all just need to get my user name right!!

You will have to look at the Corbin Custom with Sheep Carrying Rack for those long romantic rides across NZ.

Just be careful though, wool dags and lanolin play havoc with chain lube.

oh yes, yes yes, yes, (in a churchill style voice)

So its safe to say that one seat fits all models, but what about all colours??

mr sat nav wrote:So its safe to say that one seat fits all models, but what about all colours??

well, if you put one a pink ... i mean....candy magenta one, you'll have to secure it better as red is known to be much faster than any other colour...especially tvatanium.....just ask AJ

So speaks the voice of experience, eh?

Get a Scottoiler then, it'll also keep your fingers clean for when you're tenderly running your fingers through her fleece in those post event 'cigarette' moments.
