Did about 300 miles Sunday thru Central Tx. Wife was complaining about the Sundowner passenger seat was uncomfortable and the stock passenger (05 seat) seat was more comfortable...

I like MY portion of the seat - any suggestions? She's 5' 4" about 115lb...

Question is what did she find uncomfortable?  The width, the lack of paddening the back rest to low into her back not enough room infront of her?

If its the padding you might just try a gel sack into the seat.   I have never owned the sundowner so I dont know the seat to offer more suggestions.  

My wife thinks the she sits to close to me with the tour pack on the 05 so I have to drill some new holes and move it back a bit and when I take the tour pack off I bought the taller backrest for her.   Dunno if it will suffice yet or not she so loved the ultra back seat.

Last week after a 300 mile scoot I asked my wife how she liked the Mustang seat I was trying out and she said her backside was sore........told her I will get her a stair stepper for Christmas! [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Tone up them 46 year old BUTTOCKS!!  [smiley=laugh.gif]

I think, and I use this term loosely, she is complaining about the firmness of the seat. The Sundowner passenger area is the same size as the stock seat passenger area, only about 3/4" taller. The actual platform on the undowner is more square on the edges, where as on the original seat had more slope between the platform and sides. She rode back the last 60 miles sitting on a large bath towel folded about the size of the seat. She just mmbeled something about "it hurts my butt" and that was about it. I guess it's payback for all those replies to "do these shoes make my feet look fat"

Is there like a gel pad I can slip over the seat? If I have to get one of those big do-nuts - it's going to be yellow...

J -

Learned after my first wife, two things things when given as a gift willdefinitely result is a preface to WWIII: anything with a plug and exercise equipment.

Jim, a riding buddy of mine got something called an "Airhawk" product for his backseater.  I know they'd had a gel thing but then got this air filled thing.  He says she says (can't believe I wrote that) that she likes it much better.  And it is a bladder that just sets on top of the seat.  Not really terribly noticable in use to look at either.

Thanks Twolane -

Found Airhawk seat pads on the net, medium size pad is ~$145. Will look to see if someone has these at the Galveston Rally. Would really like for her to sit on it before I pick one up.

The seat on this scooter is propably the most expensive thing I've done yet. First replacement seat was attacked by the dog - mght as well have lit a cigar with the $300, second seat, another $300, grand total for HD seats - $600 and the "backrest" still isn't happy...

No problem Jim.  Your post about her trying it out first reminded me of something.  One thing my buddies have said that was a benefit is that this thing is "adjustable."  You can inflate it with more or less air to change the amount of cushion under one's tushy.

[JR]

No problem Jim.

JR - I've got to ask, how was it sleeping in the garage after that one?

[Crawdaddy]

My wife has the same complaint afterr 1800 miles in six days.....her butt was bruised.  I bought the zepplin and a King Pak for those future trips.  Very pricy but she says she is ready to go again now.

My wife and I have been married for 27 years and have been together for 31 years. Even if her 46 year old buttocks go waaaay south she knows my comments are in good fun and she knows whats in my heart, she knows she is the Love of my Life!!

my wife hates everything and she looks like the south bound end of a northbond poodle!

I personally think the 05 SEEG seat sucks big time.
