I took off my modified seat. The duct tape that I was using to keep the cover temporarily in-place while I experimented with the new foam has finally starting to close loose after 5 days and 100 degree temps. So I took it off, and now I am down to my white stock-foam seat. I am not going to modify ...

I don't understand the what you are describing. Turns were marked 35 MPH? Do you mean the speed limit signs? No, the reduced speed signs for the turns. Speed limit was 45, I think. You weren't getting any lean at the speed limit so you did 20MPH over the speed limit to get lean? yes, at least for t...

I found black and white bandana fabric at Walmart. I think I will put that on my seat once I get the seating right. It will look nice on the white scooter.

[quote="fish"]Pattomike, I bought a cheap electric knife to cut and trim the foam, and used a belt sander with coarse belt to lightly shape. Others put a coarse disk in a drill. Please watch youtubes for this to get tips. Also, please insure that you are working with genuine purpose made s...

This is what I started with - handsome seat. https://s8.postimg.org/53k85rzyd/seat8.jpg As you can see I rebuilt over the original foam, using harder rebond foam in places, softer blue foam over-all. Filled the nasty dip which had a hard plastic mound just behind it in the seat pan. https://s7.post...

Listen to homie here.

Thanks, Smaug. Hey does this forum give you the ability to click on a "thanks" button or something? I would rather have a thanks button instead of writing a post just to say thanks.

:o :o :o :o[/quote] Come on... take the new seat :D Look at your Precious, she's sad and naked. I will put your base and foam to a professional for a red seat and maybe, just maybe if I get what I want from these people swap you back MY stock saddle for the #18 after it's all said and done. That's a...

homie. Isn't this the butt cradle seat?

But look at your bike what are you going to do now. You will staple more holes on the base putting back the original upholstery?

OK pattomike... I want it! Can I please have it? Just like it is. I will send you the carbon fibre one I showed you. It's awesome and way better than riding around on the foam you crazy man. Stand by for close up detailed images of the #18 PCX aftermarket saddle. If you like it PM your address and ...

Turns were marked 35 mph. I found that I was barely getting any lean at 35 or 40. 55 was more like it. I have good cornering technique: lean my body down away from the scooter's line first, so the bike's lean angle isn't as great for a given corner speed. I don't understand the what you are describ...

somewhere on this PCX forum I was introduced to the idea of counter steering on corners. It was a totally alien concept to me. I never heard of it. I don't know if I am doing this counter steering technique around corners instinctively and automatically. I don't think I am. I was riding today and go...

Nothing to worry about here. If you aren't dragging parts you don't need better tires. When you do start dragging parts, try sliding your butt to the inside of the turn and leaning your body into the turn. When you are dragging a knee, Kenny Roberts style it may be time for a new scooter. If you ar...

Upgrade to a much better gripping tires. Dont apply brakes mid in there, that's recipe for a skid. Youre not alone, scoots are nimble and fun in bends. Enjoy and be careful. Thanks, the tires slipping are my number one concern behind loose gravel. Can you recommend a better gripping tire? Feedbacks...
