if it gives you a clue, for me on a savage which I find comfy other than the seat hurts my rear end after 50 miles worth of sitting on it. I need a comfy solo. I sit in the same position you would sit on a chair. its awesome o-o. the only complaint I have is I would REALLY like my break pedal extended out more so I wouldnt have to lift my leg and turn my foot sideways to use the rear break. its a safety hazard

everyone's butt hurts on a savage after 50 miles Grin

if you find a Comfy solo, I'd like to know about it, although part of me wants to retain a place for a close riding partner, I weigh a couple hundred lbs myself, so she'd have to be fairly slight
I think the seat's shape has somewhat to do with it, though some members have had good luck with the airhawk cushion

I am not sure what to search for but it is here somewhere. Kenny G

Neil there's a plate below the swingarm pivot that works very well as a jacking point, I use it with my floor jack all the time, it should work well for the rear tire, just be sure the jack doesn't slip off the plate
I would use a block between a jack and the engine, if you jack it there for the front wheel, just because you want to spread the load as much as possible

Re: Rear wheel removal Reply #42 - 05/29/15 at 13:46:42 I hope you have a friend to get everything lined up, hold the bike etc. I would run the jack up and down, lube it up, you don't need any unnecessary problems while you're trying to get the bike up.
