New Owner Looking For Suggestions
09/21/17 at 20:58:57
Just bought my first Savage and my first motorcycle! Looking for a couple suggestions. I have a 2003 Savage and the seat makes my butt go numb after about 25-30 minutes of riding. Does anyone have good suggestions for an aftermarket seat that they really like? Also, my full face helmet makes it difficult to see the speedometer while riding. Anyone have suggestions for a speedo I can mount to the handlebars that they like?
Thanks!

There's a large number of inexpensive speedos and rev counters on the web. The RYCA people use handle bar mounted instruments so Google RYCA. There's also a way of raising the front seat to make it more comfortable, then there's the AIRHAWK seat pad, which I find satisfactory.

Lifting the front of the seat changes how it feels quite a bit.

The best thing I found to ease the numbness in the rear was to lower the handlebars. It tilts me forward a bit and makes a huge difference.

By the way, the only aftermarket seat (direct fit) that seems to be available for our bike is made by Corbin. Some people love it, others not so much.
I also cut the hump down in the seat foam between the front and rear seats (one piece seat). I'm very happy with the result.

My 05 had a one piece seat.
It was uncomfortable.
The 02 has a two piece.
MUCH better.
