Passenger Comfort Question

[Steve 0080]

Did you pillion complain ?

No, she hasn't ridden the OEM seat yet. Sending in to get modified directly from buyer and wanted to know if I should get the pillion done at the same time.

My wife liked the OEM and loves the Ultimate....

[F6bisnext]

Not sure if you can narrow the width of the ultimate. MCC said they can narrow the OEM which is why I went this route. I can always add an AirHawk for her if needed.

My 2 cents.. I'm pretty happy with the stock seat. Have added the Ultimate drivers backrest and for $200 it's more than sitifactory. The rear is a showchrome so height is not a problem. I'm sure I would really like the Corbin or another Mustang like I have on my old Valkyrie but for now I'm pretty happy with what I have without spending a bunch. Just Sayin

My pillion wants the backrest gone; she says the seat is too wide but much better than the BMW K12RS
so How do I take off the back seat back rest?

I had dan and Paul at Bitchin stichin in Denver do my seat and love it. I am 5/11 210 and factory seat gave me no support and made me feel as if I was on top of bike. now I sit down in the bike..we are working on narrowing the plastic as well in the front as people have said mean city is.... I also had them remove about an inch from passenger foam. wife loves that she is lower behind me. remember that Honda and every mc company put a generic seat on a bike that is relatively ergonomically correct for the masses. the first thing I do on every bike I own is bring the bike in and have the seat altered to my ass...bitchin stitchin has also done our goldwing seat and all 3 of our vmaxes. dan is one of the premier seat guys in the country. give him a call and talk about it. 303-238-5404.

I currently have a Corbin dual tour with dual backrests. The seat is too wide and high for my short legs. I bought the bike used.

I contacted Corbin and they can do a nose job, which is a removal of some foam on the sides, but they cannot lower the seat height.

Mean City Cycles can both reduce the width of the pan and remove foam to get the seat narrower and lower. GREAT for me, but my wife LOVES the Corbin!

So, if you have a passenger have their been any complaints with the OEM seat? If so, what are they? I will be putting on a backrest....still to figure out which one.

If you've had a memory foam upgrade for the passenger, was it worth it?

Greatly appreciate your help/advice.

This forum has been a tremendous blessing to me to get so many things figured out so quickly.
