Re: touratech seat
Not sure which bike you are asking about, but I had a pair of Touratech Kahedo seats that I used for about 5 years on 3 different bikes, transferring them from my hex-head to twin-cam RTs.
We were very pleased with them. Firmer than the standard BMW seats and a better shape. My missus reported that the slightly raised section at the front of the pillion seat stopped her sliding forwards and the grippy fabric helps too. The rider seat seemed to be slightly wider than the standard seat and gave me better support, enabling a longer time in the saddle before the shuffling began.
They're expensive to buy new, but give good service and can be removed when you refit the standard seats to sell or p/ex the bike. Because they're in-demand, they seem to sell well on EBay for good prices, so the 'cost per mile' doesn't actually amount to very much.
I'd happily purchase another set, but the standard seats on my new LC seem to be OK (so far!).
