Great review, definitely on my want list!!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You won't be disappointed Scott

[@DerAusreiter]

thank you very much for this review, bought one for my iron butt challenge in four weeks!

[@billjohnson3284]

How did it go?

[@DerAusreiter]

@@billjohnson3284 it went pretty well, the cushion did a great job, wouldnt necessarily recommend it for curvy rides but for long distances it's worth it! I made a little video about my ride: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp24nJKAdsuAj80

@@DerAusreiter Hello... When you ride your motorcycle with SwMotech is it steady or you slip from the seat??? Thank you...

[@DerAusreiter]

@@dimram2005I would say it’s steady enough for riding from my perspective. When the tough gets going you want to feel everything from the bike for this I wouldn’t recommend using any cushion at all…

[@staninjapan07]

Thanks. Don't need anything like this for the current bike, but considering a Honda NC750X, whose seat is apparently a weak point.

[@Bob-ts2tu]

There's quite a few different ones on the market, and everyone who uses one seems to loves them whatever the make. one guy even said he'd bought a cheap camping seat for a few quid, put it inside a pillowcase then strapped it down, and it was great, so i think i'll give that a spin before investing in a better quality one.

Added it to my posible want list, been looking for a cushion or bagster seat for my Honda CB650F to cure the numb arse situation!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It will definitely cure you lop

Your videos could be an hours worth of black screen but I'd still whistle to your intro 😁

😂😂 be a new one coming soon....That's ones full of BMW

[@justjoschi]

good review, I use this cushion only for very long tours. It looks very strange..to strange for me ;-) by the way, I have ridden the GT 1,5 Years and the PP seat for that bike is one of the best seats I know. When you bye so a cheap bike a good seat must be included.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I shall be doing something with my seat at the end of the season, either from PP or maybe something custom. I'm the same with the cushion, I don't tend to use it for day trips, just as you say for the longer tours.

[@sigi_9153]

Sorry which was the idea? Idea counter please

[@mojoman7141]

They are good when they stay inflated, my one has had more punctures than my bike. I even bought my seat its own little puncture repair kit. Well worth getting one though.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Not had any issues with mine thus far, and a real life saver on long tours👍😜

[@mojoman7141]

@@thelikeablerider8800 How long have you had your one for, my one is about 2 yrs old and to me the rubber is getting hard, even today i nipped down to Belgium from Düsseldorf and had to give my seat artificial resperation a few times. I found another tiny hole. They all seem to be in the same area, in the middle at the back.

may i ask where you buy the puncture kit?

[@mojoman7141]

@@foodieboogie494 Hi, just a basic bicycle repair kit, nothin fancy.

[@foodieboogie494]

hello, i have the same model and used it for just 1 ride and air is coming out from the connector area at the bottom. do you happen to know how to fix the puncture hole? adhesive doesn’t stick. thank you!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Puncture repair would be my first thought, but if that didn't work I can't really help,

[@marksmith8663]

Ordered and just arrived for long trip next month . Do you seat on the air pockets I would of thought it be more comfortable flat up down

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah pockets up, but I'd imagine it'll work both ways.

[@marksmith8663]

Thanks just put it on soft time will tell I keep my eye out for you off to Black Forest in a couple weeks . Any tips on good b&b ?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Great stuff what a place to ride! Some of the smaller roads are more twisty, but not great surface. I rode the whole of the B500 which is awesome.

Hello to all.... When you ride your motorcycle with SwMotech is it steady or you slip from the seat???

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It stays in position, but you will experience some movement when it's fully inflated.

[@crimecrew2c]

hi bro i really need one of these for my back to feel better because i drive daily more than 8 hours so do you recommend it to me ? i looked up around many reviews and i get comfused about the products quallity! does it has a life time warranty ? or whats the warranty on it? for a small patented pillow its price is a bit risky if it wont last long! and if theres a small hole how do we could fix it ?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Yes I would recommend it to you! the quality is great although I'm not sure what the warranty is on it, but I'm pretty sure it won't have a life time warranty on it! If you were to puncture it, then I'm sure a standard repair kit would sort it. I've used mine a lot and am very happy with its comfort. Hope that sets you mind at ease slightly, and maybe send them a mail to confirm how long they offer on warranty. If I was to hazard a guess, then I would say that 2 years is fairly standard.

[@crimecrew2c]

@@thelikeablerider8800 thanks for your time my friend! i really appreciate it because its too much fake stuff outthere and yeah i just contacted them about the warranty and if there's any repair kits available so you can change the leather-cotton shell or the polyurethane air cushion in case something gets ripped off after warranty thanks a lot.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

@@crimecrew2c you're more than welcome! Everything that I accept for review is only gear that I personally think is good, and that I would spend my own money on. Fake gear will not appear on my channel👍😜

[@craigsellars38]

Wouldn't have needed it if You kept the BMW, instead of getting that poxy ktm..... lol. Have recently done 17-day trip on My GSA (and yes, riding every day) without even thinking of needing one of these. BMW has the best seats in the business as far as I'm concerned.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'm sure you don't, however there maybe others who might find this an interesting option.

[@craigsellars38]

TheLikeableRider Absolutely Spot on, in fact I might buy one for a mate of mine. He just brought a 1290 like yours & and complaining about the seat as well. Cheers for the review 👍😉

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I think with KTM there's some sort of after thought with their seats. Put a sub standard seat on them as stock, and then promote their add on Power Parts accessories, where they do a comfort seat. For a bike that expensive one does expect a better seat, but hey that's the only thing on the bike that isn't that great, we all make them our own later on.
