Seat Technology

Anyone aware of a seat material (and preferably a supplier thereof!) that is slippy in one direction only?
Basically, I'm interested in a material that allows you to slide easily from side to side, but resists front and back movement.
Must be something on the market!

Cheers folks!

suede because of the grain. Alcantara's not quite as grippy, but better wearing.

or stop polishing the seat with MrSheen

But Mr Sheen shines umpteen things clean!

Actually, I find hanging off a lot easier after feeding my leathers (but sudden braking is an eye-watering experience.

Have to investigate the alcantara ...

Cheers!

Loz, Alan says if you want to have a run out on his bike (THAT monster) you are more than welcome to try the 'feel'

of the alcantara. Has been in use since Feb this year - wet & dry (bike even being left out for a long w/end in non-stop downpours in May) and still wearing very well.

Charlotte, please tell Alan that's fantastic and I guarantee to get the bike back to him no later than November 2007.

Where did he get it done? Good enough for AK is good enough for me!

Loz it sounds as if you already have the right set, they say to go really fast you need bigger B*lls so keep up the late braking and youll soon be lapping all of us on the trackdays

Cheers, Kev, I always listen to your advice cos you "been there, done that!".

Not on a 999 I haven't
May be there's a flaw with the bike, to much weight transfer under braking and acceleration.
