Title: Raise the Pillion
Post by: jim_de_hunter on August 06, 2014, 06:13:09 AM

My wife told me last night that she would ride with me if I can raise her seat so that she can see over me.  We're both 6' tall.  I told her that I get her a phone book.   Any OTHER ideas?

I'm assuming a custom seat is the answer.   I'm curious to see what others come up with.   I need the same solution.    Would be great to find a nice stepped seat like a 70's chopper.

I suggest thumbing through the FAQs.

Lots of pages on buying custom seats or modifying your original. Some links might be outdated but if I could find them, you can too.

Do it yourself to the stock seat.  It isn't hard, and it doesn't cost very much.
