I was very unhappy with both the stock Tuono seat and the Aprilia gel, "comfort" seat. Many of my rides greatly outlasted the comfort of both seats, so I had my stock seat pan reupholstered in leather by Bill Mayer Saddles (Bill Mayer Saddles - BMS Custom Motorcycle Seats by Rocky Mayer) in Ventura, CA.
It is very, very comfortable. It cost me $600 and I'm offering it at $185 + something fair for the shipping. It does raise the seat height a bit, so if your seat seems high enough already, this isn't for you. I liked the higher seat as it gave my knees more room without sacrificing ground clearance (I'm 6' with a 32" inseam).
Why and I selling it? The valves were very, very tight (stalling constantly) at just over 7,000 miles. The only local Aprilia dealership, which had been OK up until then, made me never want to deal with them again. The warranty was up this year and I found an incredible deal on a 2015 GSX-R750, so no more Tuono...
If you have any questions, just let me know. It's a great seat at a great price!
