Flattened out my seat for comfort. Cut salvaged packing foam that's about two inches thick for the deepest part of the seat and had a hump in the middle after recovering with the stock foam and cover. Peeled up the front and cut a wedge-shaped piece to fit and stapled the cover back down. Sat on it and kind of liked the new, smaller dip that was a bit further back than original, but after a short test ride I pulled the back staples and shoved another wedge of foam under the original foam. Once again, I stapled the cover down and this is where its at now. Sliding back to where I can just feel the seam between seats makes the bike fit just right. Good thing about recovering is you can just try and try again and finally get it adjusted just right. Don't be afraid to pull the staples to adjust it several times until its done the way you like it.

Pickle,

Is that the original cover on the drivers seat?

If so it looks like it stretched quite a bit to accommodate the additional foam.

I want to elevate my seat to the height that you have yours.

Pickle,

Thank you for sharing the information.

I recently bought a second seat, the front half of a 2004 seat to experiment with. I planned on using polypropylene to build up the seat pan and then put the factory foam on top of it. I would also like to extend the seat just a little bit longer.

I am trying to figure out what to do with the factory fender so it doesn't look so bad when I am done with the seat.

You could try to do something like what Strangeling67 did with a fender bib on his...

EJID & Srotag,

Even Amazon shows the Mustang Fender Bib on their site. I am thinking that you probably have the Mustang Model #78030.

EJID,

That looks good. Your whole bike looks really good.

Is that the standard Suzuki solo seat you have, or is it something different?
