Yep, Corbin it is, 500 miles in a day going to WDW, and my A**e was the only thing that wasn't aching:lol:

The DP high screen with a lip fixes the Mway on the Numpty

Ah, but what fixes the numb bum?

DP Gel seat, even better than the Corbin on the ST:D

I fitted a Sargant seat to my ST and was absolutely delighted with it, vast improvement. Rushjob now has it and confirmed that his tender likkle botty is far better now as well.

I did several BIG trips and thought it was well worth the money.

Suppose that's The Upright Bike Paradox: the more "comfy" you make a bike (further forward footrests, higher bars etc) the more weight you put on the bum, and the more comfy the seat needs to be. I had the beginnings of an aching bum on an ST4 myself, after not an enormous distance.

That's not to suggest that they're not more comfortable overall than a 748/996, of course.

I've got a Corbin seat, but I swap it over with the standard one quite regularly.

Mrs Jools prefers the Corbin 'cos it stops her sliding around so much, and I like it because it is very comfortable except that being a shortarse I always end up sitting quite a way forward on it, and not really 'in' the seat. Still much comfier on a longer run though.

The standard seat lives on the bike for the most part because it's fine for the sort of 200 mile rideout days I do most and it's easier to hang off the side when the cornering gets a bit enthusiastic.

I use a DP gell seat too. It was cheaper than a corbin (156 quid I think).

It also stops the wife sliding forward, and she much prefers it to the old seat. Neither of us get a numb bum any more.
The seat also comes with fold out luggage hooks.

I brought a set of bar risers off someone on here (forget who now). They lift the bars up and a little back, so make for much better cruising. I'm not so sure I like them when in the twisty stuff though. They fit with the standard screen too (bars don't hit the fairing).

Cheers,
John.

Of course if you really want the ultimate in ST adjustability then look at these cyclecat bar risers. While you're at it look at the adjustability available in these ST rearsets.

Oh yes, don't forget to look at this triple clamp, not because it's adjustable or anything, just because it looks so gorgeous.

Oh, sod it...just bookmark the cycle cat page for when you need a bling fix.

Mmmm. good enough to eat!
