Butt Buffer??
« on: January 07, 2005, 10:32:54 AM »

I have been looking for a solution to keep my stock seat on my SEEG2 but relieve my butt a little on those longer trips. I came across this website and was wondering if anyone has done something similar (or maybe with Butt Buffer). Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks. I guess I should have been a little more specific. I was looking at having Butt Buffers install it in my stock seat. I have never liked those that sit on top. Has anyone had a pad installed directly in the seat and if so, was it worth it. Here is an article showing their process. The second and third page show it well. Thanks.

Need to keep in mind that the problem may (or may not) be just the need for a little extra or different kind of padding.

Dually noted 2lane. I don't think my issues are anything other than the padding on the seat. Installing a pad in the seat seems to be a viable option that covers me wanting to keep the stock seat because I like the look and being comfortable while riding on the thing. I appreciate the input but really hoped I would find someone that already had it done and could provide first person opinion on it.  [smiley=beerchug.gif]

There's a couple different motorcycle shows in Atlanta this month and there's usually vendors there that install the gel pads. $100 or so is much less expensive that an aftermarket seat and might be worth a try.  While I have no personal experience with gel pads I do hear they get quite hot during the summer and cold in the winter. There are some vendors that also install heaters for that reason.

If you lean toward buying a Corbin seat you

I had gel pad install front and rear on the seat that we had made a Rich's in Seattle and it is wonderful.  We are able to ride upwards of 1000 miles a day if we have to and are very comfortable doing so.  Part of my problem (other than the wife not wanting to set on a postage stamp) was the seams in the cover.

Can you post some pics?  I'd really like to see a pic where the seat and dash meet.

there are a few pictures of the mustang seat on this thread. I filed the mounting hole about a half inch longer on mine, you can't see it and moving the seat back half inch made it fit perfect around the tank,
