kmh0 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi folks, I just picked up my 2019 Tracer GT yday. I sold my Kawasaki Z900 in search of a more comfy ride for longer trips. This is my 5th bike and my first triple! I’m located near Charlotte NC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rode 200 miles yesterday and felt some hot spots but I honestly think doing the spacer trick that flattens the seat out will go a long way.

Yeah.....I did the seat slope mod and it helps but I rode 230 miles yesterday and I about halfway through my arse was on fire. I mean I could live it but I would like to find a good option. I am a Sargent fan but the seat for this bike seems hit or miss...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Sargent seat on my fz6 back in the day, that thing was as hard as a brick up the longer you sat the more my ass appreciated the firmness 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
