 Posted: 18:42 - 19 May 2014  Post subject: Slippery seat |
 |
|
I noticed when I test rode my new bike (BMW K1200R Sport) that the seat was very slippery; it's not something I'd noticed on the other bikes of the same model I'd ridden.
I assumed the valet guy had polished for sale but now I've had it home and given it a good wipe down with isopropyl and a wash, it's still the same 
Any ideas how to up the friction a bit? Cheap is good, but not damaging the seat beyond use is better, so giving it a quick rub coarse sandpaper is out (and so is gluing sandpaper to it!)

I'd only seen the triboseat for passengers, but I see they do one for riders, too...
Also:
Triboseat £14
Airhawk £170-ish
Think I know which one I'll try first!
Thanks guys, karma sent

That looks good, too
Think I'll end up getting it recovered posh-like, but that's a way down the road yet - got to recover from paying for the bike itself first

Another vote for this stuff from me too. I've got a strip across my Bandit seat, works really well.

Cool, any idea of the safest way to stick this to the plastics around the tail end so that tail bag bungees don't damage the fairing paint?

I don't stick it on, I just lay it underneath my tank bag or panniers.
I wouldn't mind making it more semi permanent on to the fairing sides though but glue can screw with your plastics.
