thaicbr Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Having my seat upgraded tomorrow, new softer foam in 2 colors, can't decide on black and white or black and red, decisions!! Beware softer foam... it just sinks. Sometimes harder foam but contoured better is the way to do it. Just with a thin layer of softer memory style foam bonded on top.

Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 I will have a chat to them tomorrow, the seat is too hard for long distance travel, okay for short trips, they had some car seats there which had just been done and felt good with the softer foam!

Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 What type of foam would be used in a Goldwing seat? Thinking of having it down in this style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Whatever you decide it's not so expensive if it doesn't work. But on past experience harder is better than soft. It's the shape that counts.. but just try a few different styles.. have a look on Google... sit on the seat in the riding style that you use and feel were the most pressure is. Heat a sweat as well as pressure also cause problems on long rides so make sure you don't make it so it's cutting off circulation.

Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE Q6 I have a feeling they will cut out a section on top of the seat and fill with the softer foam, that would keep the shape but making the sitting portion softer, not sure about this, I will ask them tomorrow!

buck99 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 How did the seat modification work out? I have a 300 SYM and would like to redo the seat. Every motor cycle I've ever had needed seat improvement. It makes such a difference in the comfort of a motorcycle. I'd love to see pictures and get your comments. Thanks!
