I looked at these really close. After studying this thread....

I opted for this one....even though I have to staple it on because it was bigger. I will carefully try it when I get it, and if it we dont like it I will send it back and go from there.

That's a good looking seat. I like the higher back for the rider.

Yes the wife is always complaining that she cannot see over top of me. I should be here tomorrow. Now if it would only stop raining.

Here is my new seat. Got about $200 in it. Got old seat pan from ebay. Hard but good support.

Pan modification

I took my seat to an upholstery shop and had him put memory foam and sculpt the seat to the contours of the stock foam. I had him recover it with a marine grade vinyl. It cost me $100.

I am here to report the seat is really nice. Great back support and plenty of room for my wife to move around in the back. We can ride for hours now with a lot less fatigue than the old seat. I would recommend it highly.

Looks like the pan you used was for a cafe style seat. Did the seller have more? Glad to know it all worked out. A happy wife is a good thing.

I modified my old seat pan. Look further back on the tread for photos.
