Is it wider than the stock seat for the rider? :dunno:

Because of it's newness it add's height and width weather this will change over time :dunno: I had it vertually the same day of ordering because Melvin had one in stock and I was in the area of Coventry so I just exchanged my original seat for the new one.
Have a word with Rolfy Dave because he has had his a couple of years now.
If you have any queiries give Mel a ring or look at his website for more info, but I can recommend it as it feels comfy and looks good Jono

I've had my Mel seat for a few years and it's a must have! :lick:
The gel inserts get rid of the high frequency vibrations that tend to numb the bum.

The two horns of the saddle that go down the side of the tank are a fraction thicker on Mels and you initially notice it when first using it, but you soon get used to it. (Funny, I have never notice the reduced width on a standard saddle whenever I sit on another bike)

I was watching that one as well Jono,?215 in the end, for an extra tenner you could have had one to your own specifications if it was not already
