A new member from Sweden, name Anders, saying hi. It feels like summer is too long away, and I found this forum - might help to keep the dreaming of warmer times more alive.
I got my red SCR950 in august and now have 1000 km on the clock. Updated with a pair of SW MOTECH Legend gear side bags, otherwise no mods. I’m planning to keep it this way (however the seat would NOT suffer from improvements...)
Finally, I really love riding this quite peculiar bike!

Greetings from slightly south of you! (OK - south-west!) It’s cold here (freezing, actually), so can’t imagine how cold it is there?!

Welcome, Anders!
I highly recommend a seat foam & cover kit from Seat Concepts to economically change the seat for the better while keeping with the overall design of the motorcycle.

Eddie is right about the Seat Concepts upgrade. Many of us have them on our bikes now. Others have upgraded with a higher cost seat option and all seem happy with changes. The Seat Concepts design maintains the original look a little more so than the other options in my opinion.

Seat concepts is the way to go, the depth and quality of the foam is excellent, and it's not bad looking either.

Thanks

For your tips about Seat Concepts. On your pics it looks great, and the reason I want to keep the bike original is that I don’t want to mess up the looks/appearace of it, as I like that very much as is. However, spending hours on an 8 inch wooden plank is not a favourite activity I seem to have found out.

I went the really expensive Seat Concepts route: I bought a second seat from my dealership (at cost + shipping, thankfully) and recovered it. The original seat is safely stored inside out of harm's way. =)
