IS THERE SUCH A THING

[robmorg]

No your not .... I also like my stock 2014 RT .........However I am thinking of adding Dave's Gel pads this winter ....:yes::yes::yes:...Mike :thumbup:

That's what I did on my 2013 BRP Comfort Seat. Tried an Ultimate Tall Boy at SpyderQuest, and the BRP Comfort Seat actually set me back further from the handlebars, which is what I need. The newer comfort seats are actually more comfortable than they were in 2013 and before, but I'm tied into the tan color, which BRP no longer offers. I like the "antler brown" color and it matches my rear backrest and my (very comfy) Utopia backrest.

I used to use an AirHawk-R cushion, which was a big improvement, but Motorcycle Dave's GEL/foam insert is actually even better than that. I won't say that the Comfort Seat with the gel insert is more comfortable than a custom built RDL would be, but I'm happy with it for now. Can't imagine anything other than an RDL giving me any more leg room than what I've now got. :thumbup:

I think you are going to like Dave's GEL/foam pad, Mike. Since you're going to have to open up the seat, why not stick in one of his electric heating elements also for those late Fall Vermont rides?

Is there such a thing as a seat that is as comfortable as sitting in your lazy boy???

Not a hawk there're junk

I completely disagree with you on the AirHawk, you may not like it, but to say it is junk is wrong, myself and many others use the AirHawk and fully love it.

:agree:. Before I got Dave's GEL/foam pad insert, I used the AirHawk-R for almost two years. It significantly extended the amount of time my butt stayed comfortable.

I like the stock seat but would be up try something different. But I'm satisfied.

Is there such a thing

Well I've got to add another Me Too to the russell day long seats. Just returned from 6000 +mile trip, legs and hips got tired and achy but from the cramped foot peg position. The backside never complained. Love my RDL:thumbup::yes::yes::clap:

Oh Mike, you're such a woose :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: But the suggestion to add heat while you're in there anyway sounds good for your Vermont falls and winters. Ride on my friend:thumbup::thumbup:

I have an Ultimate Tall Boy with backrest. And even it gets very uncomfortable after about 200 miles. I also have a bony butt. It also seem that the backrest pushes me too far forward. I'm hesitant about trying to add one of Dave's gel pads . . . a bit afraid I may screw up an expensive seat.

Hi jmbiii,

Re: I also have a bony butt.

That is my problem also. Now, if I could only move some of my 'extra' that is just behind my belly button to my keester, every seat would be much more comfortable. Any surgeons out there?

I am fortunate to live on the West Coast ( where Dave is located ) so it made it much easier to just have him do my seat rework.

Is it perfect? Nope, the old 'bony butt' problem is still there; but Dave's rework sure has helped.

I was the same way. When I took my seat off my Spyder and saw all those little staples underneath it, I knew I didn't have either the tools or the patience to do the job right. So I chickened out and took my seat and my gel pad to an auto upholstery guy. I told him exactly where I wanted the pad placed. Two hours later he called me and told me to come pick up my seat. He only charged me $80 or so. The job was perfect - you couldn't even tell that he had taken the seat apart. Well worth the money, IMO. :thumbup:

I don't have the money to buy a new seat, so I got the Air Hawk seat pad. It took me a while to get the air set right, but now it's fantastic! Went on a 2100 mile ryde and was so comfortable except for the day it rained and I took it off. An added bonus is a mostly dry butt on hot rydes. I highly recommend it for an inexpensive solution to replacing the stock seat.
