How is this for a problem?  At first I thought it was kind of cool bouncing off the cowl under hard shifts and WOT acceleration, but have lately found it to be more irritating than fun. Seriously, I know that proper body positioning, and conditioning, makes this less of a problem, but a pad of some kind would help me in staying located in the saddle when riding full out. Any suggestions? Jack (Message edited by jpfive on March 21, 2008) | ||

CRAZY GLUE! sorry I couldn't resist  Actually, since I don't have a bike yet, my question would be: Is that seat cowl functional, or cosmetic? I'd hate to be bouncing off of it, only to have it give way at a critical moment. If it is structural, than maybe you could stick/rivet a pad to it. Dave | ||

I have mounted a tail bag that if I was to fill it up would work, I would look for a used rear seat and take it apart and you could build some thing out of wood with a pad and bolt it to the seat pan, you can see my tail bag at baggermike farkels. Mike | ||

I put the touring pillion on mine and it keeps me in place. Its a nice flat butt stop.  | ||

Darkice... It that a Buell item or aftermarket? Looks like something I'll need to add to my goodies list. thanx dave | ||

Ok, my bad.... I looked through every item and completely missed it. Any mods required to get it to fit on the 1125? | ||
| Baggermike |
No mods | ||

Oh boy! Add another thing to the list. I'm up to about 23 to do/buy items, and I don't even have the darn bike yet! I'm afraid to add it all up. dave | ||

+1 on the touring pillion. I slide in to it regularly  Makes for a much more comfortable stop than the pod cover. | ||

Dave I also got one of those list of things to buy and only half done with the list and hope to be done in May, I have made the list from most important to least important and working my way down. Mike | ||

Does the touring pillion have the Firebolt script across the rear of it like the custom pillion? Looks like it does from the picture. I hope Buell brings out these seats without any logos or with the 1125 logo. (Message edited by unibear12r on March 21, 2008) | ||

Yes it has the firebolt script on it, but after hitting my tail bone on the pod cover a couple times, it doesn't seem to bother me too much anymore. | ||

I like the touring pillion, darkice - looks like just the ticket. Jack | ||

1125 is classified as a firebolt so no harm in the scripting. but I would like to see a ducati style pad. (Message edited by citified on March 22, 2008) |
