I hate my seat - General Sportbike Discussion

Wetley · 07-08-2008, 01:58 AM

I got a 04 1000 gsxr, and the driver seat is at this weird angle. its a stock seat. the rear of it is like 2 inches higher than the front so when you sit on it, it throws your balls into the tank....you scoot back, and it shoves you back forward again...anyway, anyone know of aftermarket seats i can look at that at least attempt to level out the seat?

any one who does upholstery could add some foam to it ...

I have the same problem with my 750. take the cover and shave an inch off the hump and then get it reupholstered.

if you got a staple gun, just remove the staples, then you can pack in foam or even a old shirt,then restaple it. my buddy did this to his 636 and the seat is so comfortable
