| It is actually KON TOUR and they are really popular with the BMW guys. I've not owned one but hear great things about their seats. |

| There are good and bad reports on them and of course you always need to take an owners word with a little skepticism. I mean we all tend to speak well of our investments. So if you have someone you can ask who has one be sure you ask specific questions to get the answers you really need and not what they want to give. For example you might ask: have you noticed less pressure or hot spots on bone pressure points? What distance can you ride comfy before you get the inclination you need to get off the bike? You get the idea. Good luck with your inquiry. That said I've found the stock Vision seat more comfy than any seat or add on appliance I've ever sat on (and I've used them all). The ONLY item I'd suggest would be to purchase a good goat skin for real hot days. Eliminates all the sweating that can (does) occur with the stock seat. |

Tucson, AZ | When I used one on the Harley I got it from Alaska Leather, dont remember the price, but it wasnt cheap. If you run up I-10 to the Ikea Store they had some designer skins for looks maybe, my sister bought one and it was just as good as the Alaska Leather one and was only $15.00. All you would need to to is trim it for the Vision seat. The leather side will stay put on the seat, while you ride and then can be thrown in the sidebag when you get off. So..........

| oops my bad, the link I posted has goat skins but they are just the hides. You want the one's with hair still on it. Several bike sites sell them. |
