To the motorcycle world about seat padding?
Hello,
I am 6'3" 350 lbs. I would like to ask if anyone has come up with a more comfortable material to put inside of there seat other than the foam that is normally in it? I have to remain at 2.5 inches or less in thickness and my seat is fixed. I'm good for less than 50 miles before my behind starts to scream at me and I have to stop and walk around before I can go again. I would love to take my stallion on some 4 to 500 mile trips but there isn't any way I can do that right now. Any suggestions.
The factory seat on our 1st GL 1800 did the same to my bony butt.
I had a local upholstery friend remove the cover, save off some of the original foam, and replace it with memory foam from a memory foam pillow from Wal mart. (It was cheaper to buy the pillows than to buy the foam). It really made a difference. On my current trike with an Ultimate gel seat, the gel helped, but I still needed something softer to relieve the pressure on my tailbone during long rides. I borrowed my son’s Air Hawk 2 cushion and that helped more than anything else that I have tried. I even use it in my recumbent bike.
