On 9/23 I'm scheduled to take my '08 stock seat in to a local (to KC) seat guy to have him rework it.
The hope is that he'll provide a cost-effective solution that allows my bony butt to put in consecutive 400-500 mile days. Cost effectiveness is important but also I'd like a solution that doesn't require a cross country ride-in but does provide for me to try out the seat for some customizing adjustments before it is done, recovered and paid for.
I'll keep this group informed of the progress and how the final seat work turns out, cost, customer service, etc.
What I'm interested in is if someone w/in 50-100 miles of me has a stock seat they could loan me for a few weeks while he works on my stock seat and while I try it out, get more adjustments, etc. I'd be able to come get it if you're w/in a hundred miles or so.
I take my seat in to them on 9/23 so would like to have a loaner this weekend--9/19 or 9/20. They anticipate a "first draft" by 9/25 but I'm heading out of town that weekend. I plan to pick up the reworked "first draft" the week of 9/28 but won't be able to give it a several hour trial until 10/3-4. Once they finish the driver seat they will do the pillion but the only adjustment to it is to make it fit the driver seat and to recover it to match the driver seat. I anticipate getting the loaner back to the owner the weekend of 10/10-11, maybe 10/17-18.
Anyone with a spare Gen II seat and the willingness to help out?
Thanks.
