Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone is using a pleated gripper seat cover on their 449/511s? I've ridden a few bikes with stepped seats but they don't feel right to me. Stock seat cover isn't very good at keeping my butt glued when giving it gas
I have a seat concepts seat/cover. They call it CF/gripper material. It's almost sticky, I have to lift my but to move around. Sometimes I don't like the high grip of it, but I sure like the shape and foam......way more comfortable http://www.seatconcepts.com/
I got a gripper seat cover with my Ringmaster Graphics sticker kit, yet to install as yet. Re staying on your ride under power, can highly recommend stegz pegs, aussie owned and operated - however I only have them on my TE not my SMR.
See in SM you sit down most of the time. So the Stegz won't really be used. I have two plain grippers from RingMaster that I might get trimmed into one pleated gripper.
I agree, I only have fitted on the TE where I found I needed aftermarket help to grip the bike more as I found the extended frame rails near the foot pegs an issue riding off road. Stegz pegz made a huge difference and hoping gripper seat will too once installed. SMR I dont have any issues, coming from a sportsbike background Im use to gripping with my knees. However first track day Friday in full leathers so will see how she goes since the conversion from road to race. I have been wondering as not as much to grip with knees and no rearsets so should be interesting.
