Givi SC231 Seat Cover

[ensoniqdude]

Does anyone have any experience with the Givi SC321 Seat cover?

Was considering purchasing for my dad. He wants me to remove the seat "hump" and I figured the seat cover would be a cheap alternate to re-covering the saddle.

Thanks

You can remove the bolt on portion of the seat hump, but to do a full "humpectomy", you will need to also cut away the mounting area. There are examples of that on other threads in these forums. Leaving the mounting area on leaves it somewhat uncomfortable to sit on.

Understood. I figured I could always put a slim gel-pad on the saddle and then put the Givi cover over.

Wondering about the material itself - if its very stretchy or not.

You may see him bouncing around the forum shortly. He's been riding bikes for years. Decided to go with the PCX-150 late last year. 83 years young and he still hits the open road.

That's fantastic! Glad to hear that he still has the physical ability to keep balanced as many don't at that age.

Let us know how you like the seat cover if you get it. I've been thinking about getting one to protect my seat from the hot sun and rain when I have to park outside at work down here in LA. I'd like to protect my investment (bought a humpless seat rather than modifying mine), but just one more thing to carry in the luggage. Thanks - and Go Dad!!!
