Plucky Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anybody else having their bit cooked after leaving scooter in the sun ? I know I can leave it in the shade or cover it (the seat not my bulge) but that's no fun and requires planning on my part. Surely by now a high tech gel seat or something has been invented. I thought about a furry seat but my bits would get too sweaty and when it rained it would be sodden for hours. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareQuilty Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 ...have your man servant sit on it and await your return. Having a manservant sit on his bulge would be awfully expensive, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Wearing leather pants should help. Or, if you don't like the biker look, maybe you prefer diapers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Go to your local computer shop and buy a CPU water-cooling rig. A bit of ingenuity and you could have a water-cooled bulge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Piece of an old cardboard box? Tupperware container with wet towel stored under the seat. Park near 7-11 buy 10 bahts worth of ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Keep a small furry animal under your seat with bungee style hooks on it's feet to keep it in place. Simply clip it into place once you parked your bike and no more hot seat. It would have the added bonus of keeping you company at night if you fed it.

loserlazer Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 just pour some water on the seat just before you sit. it reduces the heat suddenly to tolerable levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlos Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ride your bike standing up for a few minutes, that should cool the seat down for you. Or you could have it recovered in a light grey colour (hell, any colour than black), which would reflect more light than the Black seat most bikes have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Exactly what I was after! I am thinking of buying one too. Seems the guy who makes them lives in Hat Yai & price + delivery is 300 baht Saw his contact here... http://www.mocyc-coolseat.in.th/ That seat does get hot when left outside for even an hour or so on hot days doesn't it?

MrFrank Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have this problem with my Fireblade. The seat is just a piece of flat, black plastic so it can be a bit of a shocker if I hop on in my shorts when it's been sitting in the sun. But, I have found that if I press my gloves firmly down on the saddle several times across the width it removes enough heat to be comfortable to sit on.

Plucky Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Pressing down with your gloves works? I tried fixing a towel on by zip ties and did an exemplary job. Then it rained and it got soggy, dam_n. Now I just carry a small towel and either cover it beforehand or when I get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out through desperation; having nothing else to hand I thought it would be worth a try. I keep them in the seat hump and the temperature difference seems to be enough.
