Thanks Simon. I did have the seat shaved on my FJR 1300 2003 and the foam reconstructed. That seems to have made a difference. I think it will get better as I get more used to the bike. I´ve only put on 1000km todate. It´s winter up here so it is stored until spring. If you would like to compare notes you can email me at r-c-ayotte@shaw.ca
