961 CafÃ? seat options

Hi, just taken delivery of my Cafe Racer, and had a great experience with Norton so far, but while getting it run in I have found the seat to be a little uncomfortable after long periods, say 100 plus miles.. It has made my legs a wee bit numb and lacking in feeling!.. Has anyone any suggestions for increasing the comfortable?.. Replacement squabs maybe?.. Thanks

Hello Stefan I have heard that Norton supply a gel seat I have no clue about cost but give them a bell to confirm I am sure they will oblige.

Paul.I agree the seat in standard form is a plank and I intend to get it recovered with a gel insert. Norton have changed the seat covering which does not "wrinkle" like the original covering. I intend to have it coved in Alcantera as I have a roll in the loft!

Thanks guys.. Norton say they have looked at seat options but have other priorities right now.. However I am finding my butt and more importantly legs, are getting more used to it now.. Thanks
