what are your opinions on the stock seat, i have always felt when i give alittle throttle you start to slip back. i just put on the sundowner deep bucket seat and its awesome....so it should be for the price

yea i looked at that before i got the new seat, a place here in palmy quoted me around the $200 which i thought was crazy just to add abit of padding, but apparently they would have had to basically pull the whole thing apart and start from scratch for it to look right, so instead i sold the stock seat for just over $200 and put that money towards the new one
