Passenger Seat more padding or replacement?

[Badco149]

Hi All;

Went out on a semi lengthy ride today with passenger and after about 1.5 hrs. The passenger had a numb butt. I had no issues with the drivers seat. I am using the stock seats on the 2016 F3 Special. Have only had a few weeks We were hoping to be able to ride for several hours. What I am hoping is that there is a local place that does upholstery work and can add more padding to the seat. Does this sound like a doable solution or should I invest elsewhere for a better option with best comfort for passenger. Happy passenger Happy life.


Also wondering about air pressure for front tires. when we purchased the bike both front tires had 26.5 lbs in them. I read the manual and saw it was recommended 15 to 17. I lowered the air pressure to @ 16. We went for a ride yesterday and it drove with no issues. Did I do the correct thing in lowering the air pressure?
Thanks Badco149

YOU CAN ADD GEL

I think Motorcycle Dave sells a KIT so you can ADD - GEL pads to the Driver and or Passenger part of any seat ......He is a vendor here .......Very reasonable too.........Mike :thumbup:

I can help with that

Give me a call, I can help with that seat,
with my Gel kit that you can install yourself.
ONLY $79.95, that's about 1/10 the price
of a new seat, that's worth a try isn't it ?
