3TJ Riders Seat.

Hi Guys,

I'm starting to think that the riders seat on my bike has been cut down for some short person.
When I sit on the bike with my feet on the floor, I can feel some defined edges of the seat foam on my thighs. It also feels a bit lacking in padding when riding along.

Is this normal or has my seat been modified?

Alex.

I think they are pretty thin compared to othres i've ridden, but it could just have had a lot of use and the padding deteriorated.

I didn't think they had enough padding to be cut down !!!

Maybe you just need to refurbish it and put in one of those silicon comfort pads.

Have a look at the pillion saddle, it's got extra foam and a gel pad. My other half likes it a lot more the original "wood plank". I know Triumph do a gel option for the Daytona and BMW probably do them too, maybe if theres a dealers near you they might have one you can have a look at

Yes it's a Bagster tank cover, it makes putting a tank bang on easy, which is useful.

Does anyone know of a good company to get seats restored? The foam in mine seems to have collapsed, and pillions are always complaining about the hard ride... Will also need to be re-covered as there are rips in the cover.
Saying that, is there a cheaper alternative, like buying sets to do it yourself? many thanks...
