Posts: 53	Re: Seat Reply #30 - 07/03/15 at 20:38:03 I took a chunk of foam board and sculpted it to raise the seat to the level of the pillion pad. Then I strapped on a atv seat cover from Wal Mart. Cost about $20. I am 6ft 2in. that along with Routy controls and I have the most comfortable bike I have ever owned.

Has anybody done that?

I would like to remove about half of the foam height from the passenger seat and add foam to the driver's seat to level them out and then have a new cover made. I would like the rolled upholstery for the 1970's banana seat look. Kenny G

I'll post a photo once I get it done. Great. My old '87 vinyl might not take the stretching but if it tears up I have a good upholstery guy who will do me right.

Re: Seat Reply #38 - 07/05/15 at 11:40:59 You might be ahead to take what you have and show it to him, before you risk wrecking what he could have used as a pattern. And if the cover crushes the added padding, how is it shaped differently?

I use the atv pad bought mine at wal mart for about $20. I have it on four of my bikes. The main reason I like it is because you can experiment with a variety of things under the pad to get the fit just right. Just having your seat redone is no guarantee that it will be "just right" for your butt. Soft foam, hard foam, all kinds of stuff can be used to build up the seat. And the good thing is that you can unstrap it all and you are back to stock! I generally use double sided tape to hold the padding to the top of the stock seat. Keep messing around and sooner or later it will be just right.
