XR50 Seat Mod...any ideas?

Now we all know how uncomfortable the fiddy's seat can be. Has anybody made a mod, or seen a mod, to make the seat more comfortable. Or does anybody know of a "seat extension"?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

You can get a tall seat foam and a new cover. I have this on mine and it makes a world of a difference. They can be bought from any place that sells 50 parts or Ebay has them to.

I know what this dudes talking about. It sucks be short and skinny. I have to sit all the way back on the fender to get some decent leverage. My tall buddies can sit on the seat and just lean their lanky *** back to pull it up. I'd like to find a way just to upholster the whole seat and fender. Actually, you might be able to kind of do it like how these guys have been putting camo on their bikes, put a little padding under there and shebazzle, you got yourself a bigger seat.

I'm not really looking for tall seat foam...I am looking momre for a seat extension.

Maybe I am just sitting too far back, but I usually sit on the rear plastics when I am doing my wheelies.

i sit on the rear plastics too cause i'm light and short so i need the leverage. it hurts the *** back there. i'm going to fur my bike out so i'm gonna put padding under it back there to help out.
