Need More Room on F3 Driver’s Seat - any modifications out there?

[Tourer]

Wondering if anyone has modified the drivers seat on an F3. I need more room front to rear. The distance now is crushing the family jewels. If no one has done this, will be looking to purchase a used seat.
With the low amount of miles I ride, an aftermarket seat isn’t worth the expense.

I had my F3T seat modified by Seth Lamm. Moved me back and a bit up. Much better than OEM.

Have you moved your footpegs forward to the #4 or 5 position? That might give Big Jim and the Twins a little more breathing room.

I would think making the boy's happy would be worth the expense, if you know what I mean!!! I would ether head to a upholster, or a custom seat shop and have a talk!! Make the boys happy!! Good luck

I had exactly the same issue, Tourer. Unfortunately, it’s a trade off. You either live with the “crush’, get your stock seat modified (like Haze mentions above……I used Russell daylong), or buy a longer aftermarket seat……and surely you don’t want to live with the short and long term effects of the crush, regardless of how few miles you do

Try putting an air cushion on the seat. worked for me on my F3.

Maybe it's time for a diet...

I have a corbin seat that needs a new cover. Not sure if it will give more room, but you can give it a try. It will also give you a chance to do a custom cover for it if you like. I am also in NC and if you would like, we can meet and you can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, you have a great base to trim some before having it recovered. I will make you a great deal on it, as it is just taking up space. I haven't listed it for sale, as I don't want to deal with shipping such a large item. Let me know if you are interested.

I can only assume you are not tall, Smokes…..that will do it, regardless of weight …..

Thanks blacklightning for the seat offer. Going to go with an air cushion and see how it feels.i

Well, let's just say that if there were six positions for the brake pedal, I'd use #6.

Wow……I only used position #5 on my F3-L, so you must be at least 6’9”, Andrew
