Seat Mod
#1

Took my seat to an upholsterer today to have a modification done. He is going to move the back part where my butt hits back about an inch and build up the front section to sort of create a saddle effect and hopefully I will not feel like I am sliding to the front all the time. If he can use the factory cover, which he thinks he can, I'll get out for $75 or so. I couldn't turn that down. He's another guy who has been doing upholstery for about 40 years.

have them check the stiffness of the seat base, I found mine flexes quite easily, the K&N seat base I have does not bend at all.
My theory is when you sit on the stock seat, it bends and that also makes you slide forward all them time.
