Seat to Tank padding

[Max Vador]

pre-750

Because of the serious rake on the seat, i find myself pressed up against the tank on that harsh lip of the seat more often than not. Has anyone found a seat to counter this, or a inter medial pad between the seat and tank?

sincerely,

IMO,
If you are sitting that close to the tank then your seating position is way off.

it's the shape of the seat that does it. i sit with my ass in the curve, but with the bike and seat's pitch leaning forward you slowly slide towards the front of the seat. especially when braking or resting at a stop. i wish it had that lip like the 600's seat

easy fix, buy a pre600 frame and install your engine and wireharness and be done with it.

i'll check that out and...heyyy, you said EASY!

how tough is the 750 to 600 tail swap. since they use the same tank i'd imagine i can use the same seat as well?

Not that simple.
