    I have a mint standard rear seat and also a painted cowl and don't want to damage these but wish to make a "comfortable " seat for the other half.
    Rear seat base needs to be good but cover and sponge condition is immaterial so accident damaged is fine.

    What's available and about?

    Sorry no. I have a nice pillion seat on my Tiger but sadly no wench.

    Such is life.

    I’m not fussy - she could be a bit tatty, and worn in with comfortable padding.

    What’s available and about?

    :rolleyes:

    So in the needs of functionality over show the rear seat cover had to come off to keep SWMBO happy :neutral:
    I took the seat to a local trimmers and explained the issue....
    So imagine your just cruising two up nice and steady like around 10,000 rpm lol when this jump comes up. A quick punch to the ribs says that landing wasn't the best : unamused:
    Ok so the trimmer lass says, do you want softer or firmer/ thicker seat foam?
    Original cover and sponge off please with Medium to hard density, slightly taller foam on wrapped in anti slip black vinyl, ok?
    Come on then what's the verdict, does it look alright?
    It actually doesn't matter to me as I don't see it lol :blush:
    Well it's better she said :pensive:
    But?
    Any chance of a bit more :confounded:
    Ok

    Quick eripoffbay purchase of a 1cm gel layer.
    Back to trimmer, " it didn't work then?" She said.
    Urrr yes a partial success but can you stick this in without taking anything out?
    Ok.

    What do you think?

    Not bad :) does it prevent the 'sliding into driver' issue?

    The carrier certainly does as it provides significantly better hand positions, off to one side, than a simple loop.
    The seat is plus 20mm foam and 10mm gel pad at the front so probably a slightly more appropriate angle in the right direction to help.
    No negatives and the passengers seem happier :p

    The preference by the passengers is that you have some lateral stability whereas directly behind with your hand inherently involves a fair bit of slack before the muscles can react and hold firm. Inevitably this involves clattering helmets etc.

    Ps. You dont need to buy a new under tray as the hole centres are marked on the inside so just drill (or ask a mate) from the inside out after removal :p
