Title: Seat Mods for S40 Post by ihasabike on 06/05/14 at 18:41:31 First of all, leet me say that doing a search on the word "seat" in this forum is an exercise in frustration. Putting that behind me, I'd like to know people's thoughts about whether the standard seat mod to raise the front is a good idea for the S40, or if it really addresses a problem specific to the Savage. What do you think? Is the S40 seat more flat, so it doesn't need the seat mod? Finally, I'd really appreciate someone helping me find options for aftermarket seats for the S40 that are more comfortable than the stock seat. For example, is there a seat manufacturer who has an online catalog that can be RELIABLY filtered by bike model? |

Title: Re: Seat Mods for S40 Post by Yoshi on 06/05/14 at 19:13:53 Clymers manual is what you want/need I did the seat lift mod and it helped a bit, I now got the 6" forward controls and that helped out even more, I made a 84 mile trip, it was more tolerable with the mods but I still need to get a more cushioned seat |

Title: Re: Seat Mods for S40 Post by oldNslow on 06/05/14 at 19:26:43 The only aftermarket seat that I'm aware of for these bikes is made by Corbin. There is very little aftermarket stuff available for Savages/S40s. Most folks that want a different seat have had to adapt something from, or for, another bike. |

Title: Re: Seat Mods for S40 Post by YoungSavage on 06/05/14 at 21:49:26 The harley sportster two up stiletto seat can be lightly modified to fit the savage frame if you search sportster seat it should come up. This also requires yet hat you are able to find one of those seats at a decent price. I so far have not been able to as of lately. For some strange reason harley owners think their take offs are worth small fortunes. |

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks! I'd read those first two threads, but the third one is new to me. The Corbin seat looks really nice. I might try that one. Airhawk lists six of their motorcycle cushions for the S40. Does anyone know if these actually work on the S40? http://www.motorcyclecushions.net/c-7-airhawk-motorcycle-cushions.aspx?SectionID=197&number=1 |

Title: Re: Seat Mods for S40 Post by ihasabike on 06/07/14 at 07:05:16 I messaged Corbin to ask if their seat will fit my 2012 S40. The website says it is for model years 2005-2011, but I'm not sure if they just forgot to update the info in 2012, and then again in 2013, etc. |
