Any one make a single seat???

[JaysGone]

Im getting around to making changes to the trike to fit me as best as 1 can with a GW.
I have a particular pet peave with my bikes.
Due to my difficulty getting on and off a bike with a sissy bar or a high rear seat.
I prefere to have them set up for me as a single with no provision for a passenger.
I have a 2010 GW with a Motor Trike Adventure kit.
Does any one, custom builder or otherwise make a single seat for my setup??
Or even for a GW in standard motorcycle configuration.
Ive looked at a few of the better known manufactuers and havent seen what Id like.

So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you checked a GW forum or any of the major saddle-makers?

Check out diamondseats.com

Call Mike, the owner. They custom make the seat to your size and weight. Once again they are custom manufacturer. i have had Diamonds on all of my GW's since 1985. I have also tried an Ultimate, which is a good seat, but the Diamond is as good and less expensive.

Ive done as much online research and back tracking other forums as has been possible.
Ive come to the conclusion.
It hasnt and or cant be done resonably on a GL1800.
Heater stuff speakers a billion excuses but not one commercial product out there.
Diamond Back and the other company owned or started by the same guy HartCo have nothing.

Its been asked here and most GL1800 forums before too.
I guess I stuck with what Ive got as there doesnt seem to be a viable alternative anywhere.

Try Ultimate Seats ... They might be able to come up with something for you. Also I would
talk to Mustang Seats ...

Jay, Check out the new F6B seat fits your bike. It's almost a single seat and you'll probably get a take-off cheap from an F6B owner that wants a different seat? Just a thought. :Shrug:

After I saw pictures of the bike the same thought enterd my head.......why not??

Aside from the BS was going on thats hopefully over at this point.
Ive made a few changes and had some good tips.

Besides removing the foot pegs altogether.
My MT has the full length Aqua Boards.
So Im just using them.
I lowered the brake pedal and put on a large Kury brake pad........Perfect.
On the shifter side...I have to lift my foot a bit upwards to upshift no problems really.
With downshifting when I do downshift.
Which is almost never. Just hit the brakes slow down then downshift into nutral.
Im probably going to remove all the tupperware and the leftside floor board.
Then heat up the shifter with a cutting torch and bend it down a bit.
That should work for me as long as my neighbor keeps pouring on the water.
Taking off all the meltable stuff will be a job. But worth it I think.

The best thing so far though comfort wise for me.
Has been the MLB risers.
Just moving the bars back, up and in has been pretty good.
Then the one post showing how to use the rear passenger peg to mount the bike.
Very helpful.

I still end up hitting my right heal on the seat getting on but its a bit easier then it was.

Now if your right.............bliss.

Im still thinking of cutting off the rear high back and having it reappolstered.
I might just buy a used seat from say PinWall and play with that 1st.

Im getting used to the bike and its beginning to grow on me as Ive hit the 1000+ mile mark already.

Again if that seats a do able deal that would be great.

Why not remove the rear seat and have an upholster shop fill in the void?

 

[JaysGone]

That is what I indend to do.
I mentioned it somewhere in one of the posts.

Ill try to get a resonably priced used or take off seat 1st.
If not then maybe one from PinWall.
But also in a post here or in another forum.
It was suggested to use the rear passenger floor board as a step.
That is how Ive been getting on the bike since with out alot of troubles.
