  1. I found the OEM seat to be like a brick ,not so good for sitting on . I removed the cover and foam, then remodelled a pillion seat from a late model VStrom I had (bought a lower seat). After a weekend of cutting, sanding and testing my new foam it was far better . No sloping towards tank ,plenty of depth in cheek areas and a higher back . Slightly higher and lots of springy flex from High Quality Suzuki foam. And with all that and some thin memory foam covering my mistakes , I managed to get the Tracer OEM seat vinyl back on . Removed rubbers from rear of seat and put it on the high settings ,just get that back down . But I still get the Family Jewels crushed when sharp throttling down .Ouch ! Handy to have all the tools plus pneumatic staple gun . I often wonder why bike manufactures don't just get everything RIGHT . I thought of Bagster and the other aftermarket seat suppliers . Sargent was top of my list after buying one for a Tiger 800 (it did so well for three Tigers), but glad I didn't after reading comments here .
