#218738 mix_9 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Improving comfort on stock pillion seat. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   My girl complains (and rightfully so) that the stock passenger seat is very uncomfortable on longer rides. I've seen a few possible solutions, but wanted to ask if any of you have found a comfortable solution. I think it's a combo of the size of the stock seat, as well as the padding density. Lets face it, if WE had to ride on that seat instead of our "big saddle", we'ed probably be bitchin' a bit too!

Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Improving comfort on stock pillion seat. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   My vote would be for the Ultimate, since I have one, but Mustang isn't a bad choice either. I've heard of folks who liked/didn't like Mustang, and the same for Ultimate. I've had mine for a couple of years and wouldn't give it up.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #218873 sal (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 379 Re:Improving comfort on stock pillion seat. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   There's a couple for sale in the classifieds.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #218899 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1736 Re:Improving comfort on stock pillion seat. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   You can always ask local and have them make one. They can actually make it for her bum. It also seem to be critical to have a proper angled and padded back rest. Any seat you have needs milage to brake in IMHO. I don't think you would go wrong with a good seat shop.   Logged     RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #218901 mix_9 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:Improving comfort on stock pillion seat. 2 Years, 9 Months ago   Thanks you guys for all the great suggestions... will check the classifieds and look into a local seat shop in Sacramento.

Its best to go with a touring set up but if you want to keep the same seat look I can rebuild her seat and make it approximately 1" wider without changing the look. Making it wider moves the outside edge pressure point farther down her thigh and creates a larger sitting area to distribute her weight on, thus reducung pressure. Here is a picture of a stock Yami pillion 1" wider. Papa Bear   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
