Cougar Posted February 28, 2009 #1 Posted February 28, 2009 I am sending Both my seats to Rick this week for the Mod on my 2K RSV.. But have read and read Nobody is saying how it has been feeling or working out for the passenger though.. Has any of your wifes said anything or what was the difference has been for them? I am Just sending both and not gunna tell my wife *lol* Thanks, Jeff
seforeman Posted February 28, 2009 #2 Posted February 28, 2009 Rick re-worked both my Stock and my Saddlemen. My wife was infinitely happier after the mod. Both seats are now much more comfortable. He also fixed the problem with the Saddlemen seat sloping towards the front of the bike. Stuart
Cougar Posted February 28, 2009 Author #3 Posted February 28, 2009 That is what I wanted to hear Stuart. Hey , did you have to tell Rick to make the front in-seem reduced by 1 inch? Or did he just do it? Thanks Much, Jeff
seforeman Posted February 28, 2009 #4 Posted February 28, 2009 I gave him instructions on what I wanted done to the seat. Stu
Ponch Posted February 28, 2009 #6 Posted February 28, 2009 I had Rick rework both seats. I'm 5'8" and had him lower the driver's saddle by 1". This helped me sit flat footed. I rode 13 hours recently at one stint and was very comfortable. My wife is shorter (5'1") and had a little problem with her seat. She felt it pushed her forward too much causing her back pain. She removed the back armor from her Coretech jacket and it was better. I removed a "hump" off the surface at the rear of the rear saddle and all is well now. I have never heard of anyone else complaining of this issue, so I don't think its common. She now rides with the armor in place and is comfortable. It is way better than before Rick's mods. She was behind me on the 13 hour ride and never complained once. She was complaining after one hour before Rick's mod. Hats off to Rick for this very practical modification. His work is excellent and fast too. Ponch
Cougar Posted February 28, 2009 Author #7 Posted February 28, 2009 So for the Wifes seat.... -----It is way better than before Rick's mods???? -----it did worse on comfort? Is this what your saying? Thanks, Jeff
Ponch Posted March 1, 2009 #8 Posted March 1, 2009 So for the Wifes seat.... -----It is way better than before Rick's mods???? -----it did worse on comfort? Is this what your saying? Thanks, Jeff Its way better. I'm just saying that for her, with her physical staus and height, I had to slightly modify the surface of the seat. Rick's modification to the foam and insertion of high density foam to the right area was perfect.
