Loving my SV650 but two issues I need to work out.

Above 60 MPH there is alot of wind, anyone recommend a screen that doesn't look too c**p that would make it a bit less hectic.

Also and maybe this is just the shape of my posterior after about 40 miles the seat gets pretty uncomfortable. Is there any type of alternative that can be fitted? I've seen brands like Corbin on-line with a model called streetfighter. Looks awesome but pricey. Anyone got any recommendations?

Corbin's are fantastic. Had on one a ZZR1100. The diffference was night and day. Went around a fair chunk of Europe wit it, whereas before I was limited to an hour or so.

I had a corbin too on my ZZR600, but unfortunately I didn't get on with it so well. The quality was good, but it was too wide and had a lot of pressure on my perineum.

Maybe there are different profiles of seat, and the one I got wasn't the best for me.

The quality of the seat was good though.

Maybe get one second hand so you can try, and if not can resell as I ended up doing.
