Give her a nice massage?Did anyone do or bought a better passenger seat then the stock one? I ride often with wife, and after like an hour riding I have to stop cas her behind hurts.
Any cures?
j/k
removable gel pad to throw over the seat whne she is on it?
I got an AirHawk II for my wife's derriere. Works well.
My wife and I have gone down to the shore and further without her behind hurting. Sometimes her back hurts though. I would suggest you try strapping some memory foam type material to the rear seat to make sure that helps, because if it doesn't help you might be wasting money on a replacement seat.
BTW, where in NJ are you? We're in S. Plainfield.

The memory foam can probably help. I should check for it in some stores.
When on vacation in Spain, we renter the F650GS. I didn't like the bike in general, but the passenger seat was very good.
For some reason the manufacturers neglecting the rear seat on a street bikes.

Spencer said the rear seat was too small and too thin for him to do much of anything worthwhile for it when I asked about doing both the front and rear seat sections.Maybe this?

Ok. Thanks.I've tried sheepskin, good; Airhawk, better. Perhaps you should take a look at Corbin, or Russell day-long seats. I'm looking at Russell myself.

Hi BKP.I've tried sheepskin, good; Airhawk, better. Perhaps you should take a look at Corbin, or Russell day-long seats. I'm looking at Russell myself.
If you go the Russell route, can you do a write up and review of the whole process and results? It would be much appreciated.
In answer to the last question, sport bikes may have a rear sear, but it's sort of an add on. The manufacturer's aren't neglecting the rear seat so much as accepting the fact that someone might be there, sometimes.I'm in Sayreville.

Style, weight, performance, etc. Most sport bikes have a rear seat so you can put your hottie there, or in my case, my son. But it's basically just a prop. Sport bikes are meant for a different thing than a cruiser, and passenger comfort is usually not a huge consideration.
Riding two-up on a sport bike is an exercise in fortitude, even on the ergonomically easy 6R and my 11-year old son.
When you think about the changes to the bike that would be necessary to comfortably accept a passenger? It's no longer a sport bike, but becomes a cruiser.
