seats page oomidamon Feb2005 I've just
got my seat back from Bum Wraps (UK tel 01243 861510) who have done
some mods for me. I've had about an inch of padding added to it, to
increase comfort and give me a bit more legroom (I'm 6'2").
They've done a really good job and I can't wait to give it a try but
it's bloody cold at the mo! I'll post feedback when I've road tested
it properly.
They'll do any seat mods you need. They'll take padding off, too - a
shortarse mate of mine had the seat on his Duc Monster lowered by
them. On the Monster they took away a lot of the standard padding
and replaced it with thinner but better quality padding, therefore
the seat is lower and more comfortable. My
seat rebuild was £79 which included a new 3-piece cover, the foam
work and delivery by courier. It took them about a week to do. The
profile is much rounder than it was. I've not tried the Suzuki Gel
seat but I'd read mixed reports so thought I'd try this.
johnmetz 03/2004: I have loved this bike, great feel and power. I also hate the seat. I got brave and took the seat off. I then took a new hacksaw blade
and cut the pad from the back to the front. Started the cut real
light and got deeper as I went. I cut about 22-25 mm at the deepest
point. I finished at the front of the seat bringing the cut back to
the original height. Did some trimming with A razor and found I was
not able to finish the surface very well. I took the seat and cover
to a auto interior shop where they sanded the pad and added a small
layer of foam and staple the stock cover back on. They charged me
$25.00 for the work they did, not bad I thought.
I hope this can help some of you who also feel the seat is lacking
and don't want to spend a lot of money.
