Title: Seat Mod Update
Post by albb6 on 04/21/07 at 19:19:18

If you remember...A couple weeks ago I shaved a good size chunk of foam off my seat. Well I finally got a chance to go for a ride on it today. It seems to give me a more comfortable riding position (about an inch or more lower). However, I can't say that my butt felt much better after about an hour. I could feel alot of vibration and bumps in the road. I also have to include the fact that my daughter was on the back. So tomorrow I'm gonna go for another ride, solo, with my sheepskin buttpad from alaska leather, and see if that's any better. I'll update this post then. Here's a pic of the seat.

I shaved the hump off my seat also. it didn't make that big a difference until I cut the pillion in half. Thats what what hitting me in the back of the a$$. Much better but stok seat is still a POS.

Al,

How did that Alaska Leather buttpad work out?

Do you remember if you ordered the small size or not?

I got the small deluxe model. I like it alot. It really helps keep my butt cooler on the hot days and a little warmer on the cold days. Absorbs quite a bit of vibration too. I gave up on the shaved stock seat though, I replaced it with a sportster seat and that made alot of difference too.

Did the pad cover the sides of the seat at all? Judging by Alaska Leather's fitment chart, it won't quite cover side to side. I wan't something to pad the sides a little as well.
