Padded Again

After riding around for a bit without padding I redid the seat with a tube.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I think my butt will thank me but I haven't had a chance to put some miles on it, yet.

Do you have any pics of the tube on the pan? I can't figure out how it doesn't look show through. Also I would assume you can change the pressure in it, seems like a really cool way to do it and I'm sure it's comfy. Do you fill in around it with foam or is it just the tube?

Nice seat by the way.

I had a pic of the tube on the pan laying around here someplace. I stick the nozzle through the pan so ,yes, you can change the pressure,but I usually run about 2-3 psi in it. Sometimes I put foam in front of it to fill in but not in this case. A lot of how it lays has to do with if the tube was made on Monday or Friday,I guess. Some are better than others. I measure the cover with the tube on the pan for alignment , punch the holes then tool away and a little luck never hurts.

that's a cool idea. My butt and back would probably like it. I've seen you post about doin that for a while and always wondered how it worked. Thanks.

It's an old hot rodder's trick from 'back in the day'. I first read about it in an old Iron Horse magazine from the early nineties when a cat named David Snow was the editor. It's pretty comfy and doesn't compress like foam does.Really helps out on a rigid.
