Does anyone have this seat or have any idea if it would be comfy or not? I am looking for something for the long haul with me and the wifey and it needs to be comfy to keep her happy.

1) i am no seat repair expert
2) i learned and could do it better than i did and maybe" not tear a new one
3) it does look damn good after all and is so far,sun resistant and shrinking down like it was a brand new seat.....
4) it came with a fabric name tag on the back of the top seam that i trimmed off but it is like a t-shirt tag now and is in the trheads...i would have prefrred no tag to begin with ,,,it was 1x 1 1/2" and black with orange saddleman written on it...kinda weak imo
would i buy one full price.....??????depends on if they have a better material choice and it has a guarentee.....
mine is holding up well but time will tell more........good luck....... p.s standard and ltd model j bikes got different profile seats....

the seat pan is pretty much flat. the foam is just stepped. that is why i wonder, if the foam is being replaced anyway, if my seat pan would work

does anyone know of any other seat options that would be more comfy? I might have to find someone that can redo my stock seat to be more comfortable.
i might be able to try some kind of add on pad or something.
my wife doesnt want to go on trips unless i get a better seat.

so .... i was at a shop renting a u-hual...they were doing body work on some muscle cars in the next bay and i asked my question....turns out there is great guy and he is a well known motorcycle seat guy and is getting over being ill ,but wants to start doing some work soon...
i bet there are tradesmen around your area that can take a peek at your seat and give a design and good price....try asking at the muscle car shop for who does there work for em...
just a thought that i'm sure you probably thought about already....i kept my old seat cover to take to this gentleman and see if he can use the pattern......good luck
