Comfort Seat, Passenger Peg Extensions

[Director]

Update - the Real Comfort Seat

I returned to Uxbridge Motorsports today to sort out the confusion over the seat, and the comfort seat was installed in jig time. I had a good chance to try out the new seat, although I was solo this time, so I can't really speak to the passenger accommodations, but from a driver's point of view, the seat is excellent. It is just as broad and supportive as I was led to believe it would be. Should be an excellent long-distance touring saddle. Here is a pic of it.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hey Bruce,
Glad to see you are keeping the Producer happy. It looks great on Red October. We are planning a thumb ride with some time on Lake Huron in late August I believe. As we get closer with more details, I will keep you informed.

That is more than the thumb, that is half a mitten and then some....LOL I will still be in Kenya on the 15th of Aug. So I will miss you coming through. Have it great trip though, it sounds wonderful. I've been to a great part of it and it is very scenic.

Happy wife, happy life!

Thanks Deb. Please do keep me informed. I have been away for the past week at our rented cottage in the north country, so I have been away from the computer. I take it you and Brian made it back home okay?

Cheers,

Bruce

You guys are funny with the "thumb" rides. I'll admit it took me a bit to figure out what you meant. But I figured it out. The "mitten" is key!!!!!

Ooooo. It's very pretty!

(Hmmm. This might be the next "last" mod...)

The seat looks good with the red Spydie,Bruce. I installed one while in LA on Saturday afternoon. Me and Ruby had a very pleasant ride home compared to the ride down there.

We went to a kiddy parade today at Jomions and led it with 2 Spyders and 2 HDs. It was fun for the kids.

Hope everyone has a great and safe 4th.

Thanks Brad. Good to hear that the saddle worked out well on a trip of that length!

Cheers,

Do you ride aggressive? With the comfort seat, do you find it is easy enough to slide your butt to the inside to take a hard corner?

Found it easier to slide, but a bit more difficult to actually shift my weight, since it is flatter. On the other hand, the flatness seems to provide better support, and reduce the need for as much weight shifting.

Re: the BRP passenger peg extensions...words are gonna fail me here.

Focus of the part of the extension bracket that is bolted to the Spyder.

Is there a round piece that recesses into the existing bolt hole on the Spyder or does it bolt up flush.

I ask because I see by design that the peg extenders want the muffler dropped an inch or so and accommodates that with a bracket extension.

I may not be able to drop my brand spanking new dual exhaust (look for Evoluzione's Leo Vince duals for similar pics) and in any event the way the new exhaust pipes are bent there is no need to drop the exhaust for this mod.

Sorry for the inability to describe - hopefully you get the picture.

That has a bolt that goes through the new extension, the existing bracket on the bike, and the new black support piece that comes down behind it and fastens with a nut. The new bracket also has an allen bolt that is right in front of the one you pointed out, and comes in from the backside. I don't think it had dowel type piece that went into the bolt hole.
