oldgoat Posted July 11, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2014 well I have a nice solo seat on the bike. nice and comfy . with a back rest. well now since my brother in-law had the stroke. and is in a home for now. my niece has been after me to give her rides. so I changed out the solo seat put the stock ones back on. so she can ride with. her and I use to do a lot of things together. she never had a father or much of a mother in her life. grandma and grandpa have raised her, along with me. as her grandpa asked me to be in her life so she would have a male role model in her life. not sure if that was a good choice? LOL well I am having a problem with this stock seat. my arse hurts along with my back after about 60 miles of travel with her on the back. my left leg the one I had a total knee replacement on some times gets a tingle feeling? so I guess what I am asking is there a seat pad out there that will give my huge butt some padding? and some kind of back rest that will fit the stock seat? I can not afford the one piece mustang or cobra seat with back rest and passenger seat all in one. boy I sure do miss the mustang solo seat. I still have it but you can not install the passenger stock seat to it. and this stock seat feels like I am sitting on a rock. also if I can just get her to hang on to something besides the seat strap. when I take off she yanks that strap. I don't lose control but it sure makes me think. I might. she has rode horses since she was 5 I think she is saying whoa stella LOL. I love my niece to death she will graduate in 2015 and then she is off to another state for higher education. I hope she will come and see her uncle oldgoat when summer comes.

BlueSky Posted July 12, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2014 What about a seat cushion? Maybe one of those gel cushions? I have not tried one, so I don't know what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgoat Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted July 12, 2014 I think I have a deal in the works? local man here in my town said he can make me a memory foam seat cushion. that will go on top of the stock seat with about and inch of padding ? not sure what he is trying to do? the saddleman seat sounds nice? not sure if it is for a Honda shadow? but I would be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SundayRider Posted July 12, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2014 Get an Airhawk seat cushion. It is much better than gel pads. Made my wife very happy when I got her one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
