Tigger suffered from a nail in the rear ,almost worn out Anakee 3 , so mounted the new one I had on the rack and took it out for a bit of a sporty ride yesterday . The Saddlemen seat is wonderful but only gives you the low seat adjust position which I never used so I decided to thrown on the fury gel pad and give a try . Instantly felt the love , which I hadn’t since I got the new seat . The extra height of the pad plus removing the foot peg rubbers got back the leg room I was used to and the pad had that , let’s head to Alaska feeling .
