Has anyone done the Forza seat mod?

Post by V4 TRV »

I've only got 20 miles on mine and already noticed that leg room seems a bit unnecessarily cramped.

Just wondered if anyone has got rid of the hump - I had to do the same on my PCX and it transformed it. I'm 6"1 .

Will post up first impressions once I've got a few miles on it but first impressions are positive - love the smooth engine.

Just popped by my local upholsterer who will cut down the foam in the hump for me. All in wont exceed £30 and still utilising the existing Honda vinyl - result!

That is Fantastic! I am really tempted to start a company creating custom Forza seats so taller riders don't have to miss out on this ride!

Got my seat back today and I'm thrilled - plenty of room now and still keeping the same looks and materials - a win win!

Will post a pic tomorrow.

Here we go - £30 well spent in my opinion. Spot the difference :D

V4, I spotted the difference right off....no handle bar mitts...... :lol:
Ok, so how is the new design. Looks like it is sloped and no more lower back support.
I like the streamline look. More room, but now, how about how it feels on a nice ride?

Thanks guys - it's great to see there's still some craftsmen still about and I'm glad I didn't just look up and buy an alternative seat ( if they exist).

Definitely worth persevering and I'm really enjoying the extra legroom.
