Lowering my Gen1 seat

[cabreco]

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!~

Cool

 

I for one will be waiting on your report.

I have been thinking of doing the same thing to mine.

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!"

My seat is headed to Rick this weekend also. Looks like he is going to be busy.

[cabreco]

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!

A little history, or thread link for us J-C-Ls? Thanks.

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.

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!

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.
