Hi All,
The existing saddle is very slippery in combination with leather motorcycle pants (I think this comes from the stretch part in the crotch), does any of you recognize this? I wonder if the comfort seat is made of a different material and offers a bit more friction than the original saddle.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Regards, Marcel.

While I only wear jeans when I ride, I noticed immediately upon switching to the comfort seat that the material has much more grip. I found myself having to almost stand up a little bit to move my ass around. I really like it now!!

Thanks for your reply! With a jeans I have no grip problem on the original seat, it's just with leather. No grip = no control. Maybe I have to buy the comfort seat  |

You can recover the original seat with better material and customise it. I found the comfort seat raises me too much it alters the whole geometry of the bike and felt wrong. Suppose you get used to it but it changed where my legs gripped the tank and didn't like it. I got my cover from Volcano Industries and fitted it myself. Also consider tank grips. Not paint protection but proper grips and hold on to the bike your thighs and knees. I sell Eazi Grip which you can just about see on the pic below.  |

Hi,
Thamnks for your reply, very usefull....
That's a good consideration also......I'm not that tall, so raising the height wouldn't be a great help for me....
The tankgrips are great, had them on my KTM. On the MT-10 I do not feel like I need them......
