- Start date
I don't see for your year CBR 600. They have for the CBR 1K, and for the 2007+ CBR 600
You might have to ask Saddlemen directly (if they have a Tech seat available for your bike).Thank you Booya for organizing such an amazing ride! Definitely reminded me of Virginia and certain parts of Maryland <3 I haven't really explored Canada that much so this was a real treat! Really enjoyed riding up with the Mississauga group =) If the Mississauga group ever wants to get together for a random ride while the weather is still sweet, I am down for sure! Thanks again for the ride y'all! Oh and p.s not to direct this to any person(s) in particular but if you don't know how to ride in a group then please don't =) That is all!

I wonder what other companies make these but with gel too
Gel isn't that great. I have a metal rod in my leg and hip and love to ride to algonquin park (from Whitby), sometimes do 1000km in one trip, 13 hours. With the stock seat on my 07 R1 I could only ride maybe 45 mins before my left leg would fall asleep (poor circulation). With a corbin gel seat I could do about an hour and a half. With the Saddlemen Tech seat with Memory Foam I can do the full 13 hours and I don't even know I've been sitting down!!!
Finger impression in the memory foam:
I'm sure there's lots of other good seats out there, but a Corbin gel seat isn't the best solution. See if you can find something with memory foam, that stuff is amazing.

Maybe I'll rip some of the memory foam out of my bed and shove it into my seat haha! Upholstery
Lots of people do that (remove stock foam, replace with memory foam, and "overstuff" it), and it works freaking amazingMaybe I'll rip some of the memory foam out of my bed and shove it into my seat haha! Upholstery
You can find some really high density memory foam in pillows, usually a good source for it. If you send these guys an e-mail: http://www.bedinabox.ca/ they'll mail you a bunch of scraps and off cuts (3" thick solid memory foam, usually 14" x 14").

Oh man you serious?! Maybe I'll try buying one if those pillows then. I'll check that link out too but I still rather the saddlemen, look Nice
Had to take a pic of the Italian beauts
thanks for sharing, my bike made the shot.
I used the Airhawk seat on mine. Got it at GP bikes for $107.00. I could have gone for several hours more without any pain.

+1 on this! Bought mine from the States...and never regretted a single $ spent on it. Sell the bike and you keep the pad for your next one....far better than buying a $400 (or more) aftermarket seat and having to sell it with the bike.
LOL, for sure.Don't forget to bring pucks next year
Does the airhawk stay in place when you are moving around on the bike on the technical roads?
No.
Had one and yes it's very comfortable for touring, not so much for hanging one butt cheek off of tho.
agree, for a ride like yesterday's, it was perfect.
