HEY! I wanted to do soemthing like this, is it comfy? Maybe can modify it to my own likings with more foam? How is yours though, comfy?

It’s not bad for around town. My butt gets a little sore after an hour and a half or so. I would suggest using more foam. :)

I’ve heard great things about the guy at http://greatdaytoride.com/ if you’re looking to have your seat redone. His prices aren’t bad, either.

hey one more thing i was pondering, this would be cool for the rear seat, no?

yeah, i don’t see why not. it appears to be built the same way as the front seat.
