Hi Nicola!
I changed the seat rubber material to a bi-plane one from Goetz with a
light brown, non slippy cover. I used the old (original) seat base.
Result:
- broader seat (subsequent 650 km a day without problems)
- no more slipping, driver feels like sitting 'in' the bike
- 2 - 3 cm lower
- my wife has a better sitting position
- no more scratching of tank and plastic parts
So long
Dietmar
