I'm a tip toe'er , but I bought a gel pad for my seat the difference for my butt was 50 miles to 250miles between stops. Think I will integrate it with the seat. Thanks for the Idea.

Good job! I'm a fan of self-modded seats, especially lowering the seat height on tall bikes. That'll work nice for her with some lowered links and dropping the fork tubes to keep the steering angle more correct.

Yo, my man…I just bought the ergo easy reach seat….dang, you could have saved me $300! You have some serious skills and are a good dude. Your neighbor lady is lucky to have you around! 😜😎

How do you like your easy reach? Do you think it's worth the money?

Thanks you JP! I get persuaded with coconut macaroons 😂. I was lucky when buying my KLR used, it had a low profile Sargent seat installed…. I feel you on the aftermarket seat prices… a bit out of hand in my opinion.

So looking forward to seeing Geri's journey, as I'm interested in possibly getting an ADV bike for future travels and I'm short, so all of your tricks and tips will come in handy.

Had to do the same thing myself. These bikes weren't made with anyone under 5'11" in mind lol. I used a cheap electric filet knife, worked really well.

Great demonstration. My corbin uses rivets instead of staples. I'm 5'4 on a fjr1300 and while it's fine with just me I want to flat foot when taking the gf. Have you ever done a riveted corbin seat? Did you use rivets to re-seat the cover?

@AdventureTomek 2 ай бұрын

Never worked on a riveted seat. Used staples Thanks for watching

I just had to comment that the knife in the thumbnail cracked me up. Nice job, I just bought a low seat for both of mine. Did you consider cutting it further down and adding 1/2" memory foam or something over the top to make it a bit more comfy? We all know factory dirt bike seats are like sitting on a 2x4.

@AdventureTomek 2 жыл бұрын

Trying to make the thumbnails more clickable…this may have the opposite effect lol… that’s not a bad idea… might try that in the future. Ended up ordering some lowering links… that will be the next step

It didn’t feel right cutting into a seat that survived so many years “2006”….. I was nervous myself. Have to go one more step, lowing links next.

@blackdog7275 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! first like, first comment. I hate being short, on my KLR it's scary, gonna try this today, however I'm worried about the seat being less comfortable with the loss of padding.

@AdventureTomek 2 жыл бұрын

Take a little bit at a time off… I was pushing down with my fist on the foam every once in awhile… get a feel if it’s not getting to firm.

@@AdventureTomek Getting a little worried I wont mess it up. I heard seat concepts lowered is very comfortable. I'll go that route just in case.... Thanks for the great content.
