Title: Savage seats
Post by Banjoboy on 08/16/05 at 20:58:54

So I've had my Savage for ten days now and all of the old learned skills of shifting, etc., have come back. I working on figure 8s and it seems to be going well. What I notice though is the the seat is completely uncomfortable and I can't imagine a 100 mile trip on it. I'm almost sitting with my rear end almost on the passenger seat. I'm about six feet tall and weigh about 200 pounds. Plus I'm an old guy at 58. Is there a website or resource that sells seats that fit on this thing? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Here's a recent discussion of gel seats

http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=RubberSideDown;action=display;num=1121691115;start=0

page 2 has some pictures - there's several place and options from air pads to gel pads

try the search screen and change the default of 7 days to like 300 days and dig around a bit - lots about seats on this site

There's also a very simple seat mod in the Technical Corner that seems to help a lot of folks.
