wider seat.

alonzo · 06-21-2008, 09:55 PM

1,800 miles and I have decided that a new seat will be going on lucy lu shortly after a new set of tires. I am looking for something that is a bit wider than stock.

Any of you guys added on four inches of width???? The seat of the bike of course..... stop being so self concious

I have been thinking about the same thing. Those scooters seats look so much better.

What kind of tires do you want? www.americanmototire.com has served me well.

I already got my tires picked out. they are the chen shens posted in the parts section.

the seat looks good man, did you do the work or you have a auto upolstery shop do the work?

is the foam all new or did you add on to the existing foam?

I did it ,just added to existing foam and new vinyl.

does it make the bike any more of a pleasure to ride? 60 miles on my bike and I am ready to cry. Its to hard, to narrow and feels like I am sitting on a piece of 2x4 wood for an hour straight.

When I got my D/S the seat was high. After 4000KM's I could stand flat footed. I left the stock seat underneath so if I messed up re-doing the vinyl, I still had the original seat underneath. The lady at fabricland said she had lots of bikers come in for seat material. She saw the helmet at told me what I needed right away.
