cabreco Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Well after talking to several members who have given their unanimous endorsement, My 84's seat is on it's way to Rick Butler for modding! I honestly don't know what I would do with my Venture if not for the members here. BEST $12 buck a year I EVER spend. Thank you all for you help!~ Andy
Flyinfool Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Cool I for one will be waiting on your report. I have been thinking of doing the same thing to mine.
videoarizona Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Me three. Rick modified my VStar 950T seat and it's a huge difference! I'm just waiting for the youngest to stop spending my $$.... "hey honey..it's my turn!"
Freebird Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 My seat is headed to Rick this weekend also. Looks like he is going to be busy.
cabreco Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 Absolutely! As many on here know I kinda go overboard on being detail oriented LoL I will definitely post a report on the results of the mod!
flyday58 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 A little history, or thread link for us J-C-Ls? Thanks. Richard
cabreco Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 So my seat should be coming home soon. (I asked Rick not to rush) So once it's back I will post a review, not only from me but from the wife's perspective.
cabreco Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Ok so The seat arrived today. VERY Nice job! When I installed it & sat on the bike I immediately saw the ride height difference. I put her up on the center stand & sat down, it was very comfortable, the seat cradled me. I put my feet up on the highway bar pegs & I did not feel the tightness in my back that I felt with the original seat. Now mind you some may say it could all be in my head but I did a side by side comparison as I have an 83 parts Venture which still has the unaltered OEM seat on it, & it is DEFINITELY better. The real test of course will be on 4+ hour rides. The Mrs. & I have some trips planned for this spring & summer & I will post my commentary on how it does on a long haul! All in all I'm VERY happy with it! & the cost was inexpensive compared to buying a Corbin or a Russell seat! So to anyone thinking about it - DO IT!
Freebird Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I got my Road Glide seat back from Rick also. It looks great and I think it will be very comfortable but I guess it will be at least a few more weeks before I can try it out. More snow this morning.
