Bead Rider
11/02/15 2:18 PM

Cant remember the thread but I had mentioned ordering this seat aid. It is called Bead Rider..

I had been pointed toward this item by several friends over the past year. The ZX14 is the first bike that has stock seat on a bike that has bothered me very much.. After a half day It is becoming annoying and after a full day, I am thinking that I need to make a change.. For less than 50 bucks and two recommendations, I gave it a try.. I just did a 1200 mile weekend and I honestly forget that I am riding on these lil rollers, UNLESS of course I happen to be sitting forward and grab a hard handful of throttle. Then back I go on the seat. I would be consider small of stature by most any at 130 #s and 5'5" . As such I have never considered an aftermkt seat of any kind and on the ZRX, I cut away half the stock padding..
So there you have it, any ride over 300 or 400 miles and I will have this item attached, easily I might add,to the 14

Besides the throttle effect, how do you feel setting up/going into corners? Does it give you confidence? Do you feel locked into your riding position? I struggle with numb ass on 2nd and 3rd day of 400 mile a day rides. I like my Corbin but would like something a little better. Don't want to spend another $400 on a Sargent or other seat right now.

I havent really ridden aggressively with it but pretty sure it would not be the best for a real hot set of twisties.. If you are capable of using your knees well it might be ok.. I just dont know...
