Has anyone bought a gel seat for a 08" scg? | ||

I am looking for a more comfortable seat that does not add to the height of the seat. Any experience out there? | ||

I've had 4 seats on mine. The low seat was nice for 20 minutes then, well it was A pain in the ... The select seat is very nice for long rides, but with more "spirited" riding it pushed me forward and the wife wants A baby.. The sport seat is my favorite. It's sits back a little more and takes a little pressure off the knees and has more padding than the low scg seat, thought not as much as the select seat. I ended up with A standard S seat in A package deal for parts but have not tried it out yet. If you were closer I'd let you try them out. I would try seeing if somebody in your area might let you try one. Maybe offer A beer or something for the time? It would suck to shell out 200 and not like it. | ||

Thanks Thomas, I looked as some of these on Buells website, but I was not clear if they would even fit the scg! But apparently at least these will fit my bike. | ||

the select seat is what i switched to. it was just barely an increase in height, but way more comfortable. | ||

The "Sport" seat should only fit the SS. | ||

So...we are saying that the Sport won't fit a SCG but the select seat will?  | ||

Any seat made for the CityX, S and Scg will fit. Seats for a TT or SS will not fit, as they have a different tail section. | ||

Just went through this myself for a 2010 Scg. I checked the US and EU accessories list and they were the same. From what it says on the website(s)the Sport is only for the SS /STT not the Scg. I tracked down a new Select seat which was the only gel seat listed for our bikes. Hope this helps! | ||

Thank you gentlemen! Your help has been greatly appreciated! A badweb sponsor also contacted me about a Baldwin gel seat. I looks like some quality workmanship, but it is a little expensive. But it might be be the way to go. We will see what the budget has to say!! | ||

wfhaag, i've suggested this to plenty of fellow bikers and they all were extremely suprised by the great results... Keep your current seat for the time being- try out a pair of gel-padded compression bicycling shorts as your 1st layer (definitely wear something over them)! If i had to pick between my select seat and the shorts, i'd definitely pick the shorts. Not the most manly thing ever, but certainly the smartest! | ||

Krueger08xb12s, thanks for the suggestion. I live in north central Minnesota and it is a little snowy up here yet. However, I think I will check out your idea before I purchase a different seat. (can't hurt!) It will be a couple of months before the snow melts before I can try it out. |
