    Default Gas shock replaced under the seat ..

    .. 2015 RT-L

    I did Motorcycle Daves Gel seat diy inserts to both the rider and pillion portions of the seat.
    A GREAT improvement comfort wise (thanks Dave ), but found that the seat, due to the weight of two gel inserts, would not always stay in the raised position to pump gas.

    The OEM manufacturer sells the replacement gaz shock for $95.00 .. !! .. no thank you

    A visit to Pep Boys/O'Reilly got me a replacement for $25.99 (yes please) and it works perfectly.

    STABILUS lift support SG359011

    I got this info. first from a member here who reported his satisfaction with this replacement - just cannot remember who right now, but many thanks

    I love this forum

    We should probably remind folks that you don't need to remove the C-clips that hold the strut in place...
    Just take a small screwdriver and pry up and under them: the strut just falls right loose!

    There is also a stronger one from the same company. I put that on over the weekend. Now I don't have to lift my seat it jumps up by itself. I also have the m/cdave gel pad in my rider's seat only.

    Be careful...
    If you go too strong on that spring: it might turn into an ejector seat!

    An extra bonus having the seat raise itself for sure.

    Now that would be a novel experience.

    Actually I was having a little trouble with it staying up with the extra weight of the gel pad.
