MG V9 Seat Recommendations ?

[kballowe]

After riding this V9 Bobber a couple of hundred miles, I am wondering what might be available in aftermarket seats.

Anyone change their V9 seat ?

What do you have ?

I would need something that would fit with the Givi rear rack.

I don't know if this will help you out or if you'd be interested , my stock stornello seat was like riding on a two by four after an hour. Sent it away to astech seats had it redone. Night and day. Also bought an air hawk inflatable pad,helped a lot too. Astech was very good to work with and quick turn around.

I had the same experience with my stock seat. I tried the Solo Seat(pic) and found it to be a good move for me. Its a direct replacement from Guzzi and one can also get a mated passenger set that fits behind it. I have the Givi rack and it all works with it. I didnt bother with the passenger seat as I wont be having anyone riding with me. Wife has her own rig.
As for the difference, with the stock seat I was only good for about 50 miles but with the solo seat I can run out the gas tank. For me this works as one has to stop for gas at that point and you get a good break. I believe that if I were to add something like an Air Hawk it would make it better yet. But I am good to go with what I have.

That might work just fine - assuming that it would work with the passenger seat installed and the Givi rack installed.  I won't be riding a passenger, but the extra area provided by the passenger seat will allow me to tie on extra luggage.

When touring with my former Roamer, I always used an Airhawk.  But then again, I’ve had to use an Airhawk when touring on every bike I’ve ever owned.  Here’s the tender ass gang!

Eddy at 73 Cycle in CT can rebuild your seat and keep the stock look.  He does a great job with stuff like that.
Google him.  I've seen and felt his work and it's top notch.
