Guys, it always makes me smile when you all post.  You always seem to make the most of every outing  But aahh, the bike with the poorly saddle.....  Can i suggest until you get a new one..Go to any fabric shop and get a piece of fake leather..Comes in black,brown and red usually About a metre, Metre and a half (3ft 3ins Plus) then go to a pound store and get a staple gun (if you don't already have one) Take seat off bike, lay on top of fabric, pre fit fabric trimming any excess (bear in mind you probably need to fold it over once before stapling criss-cross style to ensure a secure fit) staple and fold from the tank end of seat, staple about 5 inches apart, working backwards then when you get to rear fold material like a Xmas present staple and check out handy work. Total cost: fabric up to 5 pounds, staple gun with staples 1 pound =6 Pounds. Did it with my old saddle, looked so much better. and a big improvement over Duck tape....... ;D |

Hi norfolk be interested once you get covers how you get on. I considered it but got frightened by some of the stories i heard about what a close fit they were, etc...  Ride safe & stay warm |
