DRZ: Fat Ass, Tiny Seat

SurfN'Turf · 03-27-2012, 09:11 PM

I'm in the process of fabricating a seat widner for my 2006 DRZ 400s. It attaches on each side to the seat bolt and to the frame further forward under the seat.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this or has another idea besides a seat replacement.

I shaved and refoamed my stock seat with wider foam on the bottom. Didn't take long and makes a big difference but I am am curious to see what you come up with.

Also Sweet Cheeks seat extender (uses 2L soda bottles as outriggers): http://www.sporttour.com/shopexd.asp?id=2917

This is the cheapest way I've found to make the DRz seat comfortable.

The cool thing is that you can vary the amount of fluid in the bottles to customize the softness to your liking. Throw an airhawk over it, and I can do 500 mile days.

The sweetcheeks thing is the goofiest looking most effective seat widener I've found. I love mine, even if I'm embarassed to ever be seen with it on the bike.
