I've successfully stuffed coir and re-stuffed the foam on my enfield's seat a year back, after which the ride is definitely more comfortable. More recently, a friend (and fellow member) who owns an MT-01 had to ride it back to mumbai from bangalore. The seat wasn't any more comfortable than your bike's, I think, because he finally folded a huge turkish towel and laid it on the seat before sitting himself. Temporary relief can be achieved by this I think

Seriously though, go to a seat expert and get the seat re-done. It won't be fun if it isn't comfortable enough.

Cheers,

Are you saying that the soft foam once installed will become hard as the time passes by ?
Nope no change in handling and safety.I suggest elimination of slope so that there is no sliding down the slope of the seat when brakes are applied.

Thanks for everyone's advices.

Today, I met a bike seat specialist and he told me that he will put some padding on both the sides and also he'll re-stitch the entire seat with additional cushioning. Costs about Rs.550.

But, he told me that it's difficult to remove the slopping fully !

Anyway found a good site : DIYMotorcycleSeat.com - Home Page

Finally modified the seat and removed the slope of the seat(rider's side). And, slightly increased the width also.

So, howz the comfort now? Has it improved?
I think the look of the seat is spoiled.period.Any way comfort matters more than looks.

The comfort is way better for the rider(especially for long rides). Pillion comfort is OK !
