1997 klr 250 for sale

[SeaTigerGo@yahoo.com]

Howdy folks. I do a lot of long distance riding with lots of gear (I am a performer and a reenactor) and am looking for a comfortable long distance utility saddle, if such a thing exists. I have actually toyed with the idea of modifying a treeless endurance saddle (horse saddle) but would would really rather buy a made saddle with support and padding for my 6'1" broad frame and even broader A$$. Right now I get about an hour and a half before I start doing the KLR mamushka. If I could double that, I'd be happy. Any ideas... The perfect world saddle would also have more tie points for gear, I don't carry passengers unless I have to. Thanks. Jim (but most people call me... Jim)

I'd try the Coleman ATV cover first. And if you need more than that, the Seat Concepts kit is the best value. It's a do it yourself but all you'll need is a heavy duty stapler than can be bought cheap at Harbor Freight. They only cost $160. These are every bit as good as the Corbin and Sargeant seats at half the price. http://seatconcepts.com/products#ecwid:category=1671354&mode=category&offset=0&sort=normal ________________________________ From: Jeff Khoury To: "SeaTigerGo@..."

Jim, You don't say which year/seat you are riding. Gen 1 seats 88-07 are different composition than Gen 2 seats, 08+. Personally, I think the Gen 1 seat is miserable for anyone over 160#. YMMV. We just did a seat exhange at my house on Sunday, so maybe this will be helpful. My 16 y/o, now 6'1" and 180 lbs complained the 2001 seat was killing him at 75 miles; previously he had ridden 200+ miles at a time withut difficulty = 5'10 and 160#. We switched to a Gen 2 seat I bought earlier and he remarked that it was much better. That is the short eval of 25 miles. We shall see later next week on an all day ride. The Corbin flat seat is much better for the 'larger' person; though he did not care for it quite yet. I like mine. When new, they are quite hard and take a while to break in. revmaaatin.

Roger Lovin quotes an old middle eastern proverb that goes something like :"Tend carefully to your ass, for it bears you." A custom seat is one way, but they cost a lot. There are a lot of cheaper alternatives, from wooden beads, to sheepskin, to the Wally World seat cushion, to Honey Buns (or whatever they are called) a cordura cover that holds a couple of big pop bottles that support your inner thighs. I have not tried these last ones, but legendary adventure tourer and cheapskate Charlie Coons swears by them. Wooden beads and sheepskin are an improvement over the stock seat, but not as good as a dished Corbin, which in turn is not as good as a flat Corbin. The Meyer/Russell widebody seats are probably going to be the most comfortable, but I gather you don't like the price. Remember, you only pay for a good seat once. Otherwise you pay all day long every day.

I think you mean Sweet Cheeks http://cycle-analyst.com/sweetcheeks.htm And be careful when using Google to look up terms like "Sweet Cheeks". You may get some uh, impure results... Better to use "Sweet Cheeks motorcycle seat" instead. ________________________________ From: Jud To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 1:42 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: Long Distance Saddle Roger Lovin quotes an old middle eastern proverb that goes something like :"Tend carefully to your ass, for it bears you."

Yup, Sweet Cheeks is what I was thinking of. But Honey Buns got me into almost as much trouble.

P.S. Charlie is so cheap he sewed his own out of cordura rather than pay the $29.95. His legend as a cheapskate outstrips his fame as an adventure tourer. I'm gonna bet you are not that cheap.

A custom seat is one way, but they cost a lot. There are a lot of cheaper alternatives, from wooden beads, to sheepskin, to the Wally World seat cushion, to Honey Buns (or whatever they are called) a cordura cover that holds a couple of big pop bottles that support your inner thighs. I have not tried these last ones, but legendary adventure tourer and cheapskate Charlie Coons swears by them. > > > > Wooden beads and sheepskin are an improvement over the stock seat, but not as good as a dished Corbin, which in turn is not as good as a flat Corbin. > > > > The Meyer/Russell widebody seats are probably going to be the most comfortable, but I gather you don't like the price.
