TA Comfort
I'm looking to make my 600 TA a bit more comfortable for long trips, especialy two-up.
For the seat, Airhawk, Corbin etc are too expensive so I'm thinking of replacing the foam in the standard seat, which will allow me to lower it a bit also. Now I know firmer foam is supposed to be the way to go but how firm? Is there a grading system for foam? What do you ask for when you're buying it? I'm also considering raising the bars slightly. Good idea? I've tried a taller screen but found it very noisy and the buffeting was pretty bad so I put the original one back on. Has anyone tried any of the above? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

You might want to try the Transalp mailing list for these questions: the members have lots of experience of these matters.

Crusty,I cannot help with the seat or the bars but I have the same problem with my screen.The bike is a 600 TA fitted with a tall screen which flips up at the top edge,it may possibly be a Powerbronze one.Even at low speed the wind noise is terrible.What I may try is carefully cutting it down a inch at a time to try for some improvement,failing that I may get a standard screen.

I had the best luck with the Givi Screen on my TA. When I originally bought my TA it had a tall Rifle screen which would blur my vision at speeds over 60mph. But windscreens are tough to dial in, what works for one person may not work for another.
