Beadrider saddle cover

Post by Smaug »

The idea behind this is that it lets the butt breath, so it doesn't go numb. It really works well, as long as the basic seat shape underneath it is OK.

This is my second one of these; the first was a bigger one I had on my Burgman 400 and then my Silverwing. I found that this simple beaded seat cover made the ride as comfortable as the multi-hundred dollar Corbin leather saddle I had for the FJR1300.

There are lots of these out there, but getting the name brand one that is specific for motorcycles is the better plan, as you won't have beads hanging over and rubbing on your plastics. You can see how this one is shaped so that the front corners aren't present.

The 12x12" one fits perfectly on a PCX.

Here's their site (no affilation): http://www.beadrider.com/beaded-motorcycle-seats/

I tried it out for the first time this evening on the PCX, and it works just as well as it did on the maxis.

Here's a quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOdnI7jZerA (still processing at this moment, but it'll be done soon)

Highly recommended accessory. This is second only to a bungee net, in usefulness and value.

Very interesting effort on your part. Looking at the hump seat in your video there is a world of difference in material between the LED PCX saddle and earlier models.
