Pro Cycle Saddlemen Seat
Read the posts in the various forums and you may end up believing that the original equipment DR650 seat is made from plywood and barbed wire.
The general consensus seems to be that the stock seat is an immediate throwaway.
My feeling is that it's not great, but I don't think it's as bad as all that either.
Sure, I wouldn't want to ride from Baltimore to L.A. sitting on the thing, but I have to say, I've sat on worse. Well, at least I could probably make it from Baltimore to Cumberland anyway...
I guess my butt has become so numb over the years from sitting on crummy motorcycle seats that my cheeks are beyond recognizing good from bad, because I also don't mind the stock Multistrada 620 seat, which also gets routinely panned by owners.
As I was trolling through the vast Pro Cycle DR650 online catalog back when I first bought the bike, I happened to notice a sale they were running on their "Saddlemen" seat.
It looked pretty nice from the photos -- although buying a seat based on photos is like buying a pair of shoes based on a text description without photos. Or without trying them on...
I couldn't find a decent review of the Saddlemen seat, but at $299.00, it was $50.00 less than the Sargent seat and $60.00 less than the Corbin, both of which get pretty good reviews by owners, so the price difference was attractive.
Besides, this is webBikeWorld, so we're supposed to be reviewing unique products and providing information that helps others make informed decisions, so the Saddlemen seat fit the bill. And that extra $50.00 would come in handy for buying a pair of the Pro Cycle engine case guards...
So the Saddlemen seat it was. When it arrived, I realized that the "Saddlemen" name actually refers to a motorcycle seat company and isn't just a Pro Cycle product name.
Saddlemen is located in California and they make a wide range of seats for cruisers, sportbikes, dual-sport bikes and more. Pro Cycle partnered with Saddlemen to design this seat specifically for the DR650.
The Pro Cycle Saddlemen seat is built on the standard DR650 seat pan, which is a plus because you won't have to worry about the seat not fitting the bike. Pro Cycle says the besides the stock fuel tank, the Saddlemen seat will also fit the DR650 when an accessory fuel tank from IMS Products , Clarke Manufacturing or Safari Fuel Tanks is installed.
Gel Seat Pad - News
Pro Cycle now has an option for a gel seat insert when you buy a Saddlemen seat, and the price has gone up to $315.00 for the basic seat and $329.00 for the seat with the gel insert. I haven't tried the gel version, but having tried gel seat pads on
My son, age 11, wears a form fitting undershirt that has embedded gel pads around the heart area. Would it have saved this boy from this tragic situation? One never knows. I'm doing what I can. We can't cloth are kids in armor all the time.
The bonnet also has a hair line fracture in the surface of the gel coat, underneath the paint. Imagine a horse hair laid out on the bonnet and you get the idea. Basically, if you want a garage queen, look elsewhere (good luck for this money!
They work autonomously with their own radars picking out potential targets, before the whole launch pad arcs around like a robot to lock on and fire. The blue letters show the position of friendly aircraft - there's no hostile air traffic,
Pro Pad Gel Seat Pad (Fabric) Black Large 16″ W x 12″ L 6101 On Sale
I bought the Pro Pad in large size to extend my riding time between rest stops. I bought the Pro Pad as it is made in the US, and the build quality is really excellent. It does work quite well, and the non-slip mat on the reverse side does a good job of keeping the pad in position on the motorcycle seat.
It has a fixed elastic strap towards the front of the pad that is supposed to slip under the bike seat. In addition, it has two elastic adjustable straps towards the rear that you can use to attach to the bike frame, etc. with the supplied non-marring hooks.
I looked at two other brands of gel pads before buying the Pro Pad. What made me choose the Pro Pad was the build quality, the nicely made cover with the “Pro Pad” logo on it, and the made in the US aspect.
After several rides on both my bikes (switching the pad from one bike to another takes seconds) I can honestly say that it was a good investment.
