No more 929......... - Page 5

No f'in crap... WTF... every 10 days maybe!

You know what.......I've just about decided to keep the 929 and look for a stock seat to have redone the way I want it (Read: more cushion) and replace the clip ons. I just don't want to give up that amount of road killing power and torque. It's a breeze to run with traffic and pass without even taking your left hand off your thigh.

I'll do some mods to it before I think about letting it go again. Then again, I did price it today. One of my buddies called me asking about it and said that he had a guy call and ask if he knew where one was. He said that he knew of mine and that he thought I wanted to sell it. I'll put it this way........I priced it where if he wants it, he's going to pay for it.

Zukimon, you could look into the sargeant seat, or corbin as well. Although going with a modified stocker with added cushion may be cheaper.:idk

Just add that seat and some heli bars, and get to working out a bit like Tigger suggested and you are golden.

I've thought about Corbin but I like the idea of stock looks where you can get away with it. If the seats stock, when someone sits on it they will think that I did nothing, when in reality I did something great.

I may just get an aftermarket but I hate buying before trying. (it's kind of like marriage

)

Need a seat guy? Could have him do a poly or gel insert in your stock seat.

www.badassbikeseats.com

He does mostly high end custom seat designs for choppers/hd, but allot of them get padding changes as well. Tell him I sent ya.

Go to the fabric store.

Buy a piece of vinyl. (They have assorted patterns btw)

Buy a piece of memory foam.

Borrow an electric staple gun. (I did mine at a shoe shop)

Kiss your hemorrhoids goodbye.

Or buy one of those seat pads like Ebbs has.

I've got a guy that runs his own place above my house. He did my Katana seat for me for $20 WOW!! That was a complete recover with no foam work. I figure that I could get him to recover a 929 seat with different padding for less than $50. That would be just fine with me.
