Better padded seat, with channel to allow some ventilation under the butt.

Made using medium density (recycled sheet) about 1" thick, topped with strips of low density (soft ) foam about 1" thick. The foam pics were taken before final finishing and shaping. After using it, a small wedge was cut out of the medium density foam right at the end to improve the feel when sitting right back. The sightly increased width in front means that even if you slide slightly in front, the seat is supportive.

The straps off centre on the rider seat may be removed in some time (I don't think they are doing their job of defining the ventilation groove too well)

Pictures.

Really nice. So whats the comfort level now as compared to the OEM one.

Good design hope the comfort level is good too....

Pretty much any padding is better than OEM for distance running. For short trips OEM is just about OK

Thats a nice mod doc however does this affect riding position? Since already a little leaned over (without seat mod) and with this extra padding it would mean reaching those clip-ons would require a bit more extra lean? Please let me know. This would help me in future.

Very good design.. All motorcycling companies have to take a look at this..

For the first time, I long for that seat and don't care much about the M'cycle at the moment.

The dug up roads on a commuter M'cycle with wafer thin seats is hurting still. And I have to commute this way for the next 15 days at the minimum.

Thanks to your DIY, shall try something on the commuter.

Yes, there is a very negligible increase in lean. Not a biggie, you'll be ok.

Use a folded towel as a stopgap measure!

Funny enough, many people don't consider it a mod! Had a tough time keeping my patience with the comments on the homepage
