Arse Pad

I'm sure I could "knock one up" from bits via Clarke's Rubber, but does anyone know where to get a more proper pad that goes behind the rider on a single-seat bike?
It will be going on a nice flat surface, nothing tricky on my ducktail.
Just thought that I'd try to make the seat "fit" a bit better.
Cheers

You could try a wreckers for a GSX-R single-seat pad - I have one of these for a race bike, they fit into a cut-out section on the ducktail, but should be pretty easy to adapt with some stick-on velcro strips ? Other than that, making your own from a piece of high-density foam rubber from Clarks is probably going to be your best bet.

Most of the racers seem to use foam from Clark Rubber (or the like) too...

He actually means the pad BEHIND your arse that stops you sliding backwards under acceleration.... I think

Here's a pic of what I did. Not very close though. I actually stuck 25mm foam in three bits to build up the layers. I will take it off and slope the back so it runs parallel with the rear seat. It was really easy to cut out on a band saw. You can slope the table so it gives you a tapered look. Works a treat...especialy when you have 'armouralled' your seat.

there you go, a genuine arse pad!!!
Cheers all. Hoffy, that website has some cool pads in it, but not quite what I was looking for... yet. Maybe when I have a few hemroids?
