#40761 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Senior Boarder Posts: 394 Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I've been researching seats here and on the net so I'm confused as hell. Anyone familiar with Metcruze? I want a seat that lowers me into the bike but does not move me forward and of course be made for long runs. These look like they might work. thanks bushr   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40763 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13222 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Most seats that lower you move you forward some. Do you have a link for the seat?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #40765 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Senior Boarder Posts: 394 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Here's the link, I hope it works. http://www.metcruze.com.au/index.html The sraight back seat is just that, cut almost str8 down.   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40768 RedBeard (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Never heard of the Metcruze but thought I would tell you about my setup. Probably not different than a lot of others, but it's comfortable. I have a Mustang seat w/backrest, risers, and pegs. I'm old(60) and have a bad back, but with this set up, I can confortably ride 600 highway miles a day. Have done over 800. Just lean back on that backrest, scoot down in that Mustang seat, prop my feet up on those pegs and just roll on down the road, all day long. Those risers are almost as important as the seat. By the way I tried to use the stock Yamaha seat, couldn't make 30 minutes without my butt hurting. Good luck,   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #40771 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4404 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Looked at them (on the site you posted) and they do look like you will move forward some.. I have a yamama custom seat that seems pretty comfortable to me.. (6ft tall 32 inseam) they say its made by corbin..you can find it at the star website in the accessories section..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #40776 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10822 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   If you take a look at the frame at the seat area you'll understand how the seats work. To get down you can remove some padding ... ouch. To get down but have ample padding the seat has to move forward. You can reshape the seat pan somewhat but the tall battery and seat post determine how much lower you can go.

It's due to be delivered tomorrow (woohoo!). Rider, passenger and backrest. Can't wait to try it out.

Looks like they are building the backrest right into the seat. Might be hot on a summer day. Interesting looking seats though. Hope you find someone who has one.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #40795 bushrjackson (User) she's pretty EH? Senior Boarder Posts: 394 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks all for your input, I really appreciate it. Would gel and memory foam make a difference with lower lower seat and less foam overall?   Logged     2006, 3\\\\\\\" HK rez tec\\\\\\\'s   The administrator has disabled public write access. #40845 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2764 Re:Metcruze Custom Seats 1 Year, 2 Months ago   flashback wrote: Looked at them (on the site you posted) and they do look like you will move forward some..

Its the best ..if you want to have comfort and lower position but like was mentioned ...the frame allows only so much....if yer goona be lowered yer goona move forward... Gel and squishy is only good on a lazy-boy.. Firm foam is what you want for a motorcycle seat...   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/09/12 19:36 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access.
