Ordered new Road Sofa today.

[Tory]

Merry Christmas to us.The wife and I decided on a new seat for christmas this year.

I ordered a saddlemen road sofa today.
It'll be charcoal in color,include a drivers backrest and passenger pad/cover,as well as having the gell inserts in both front and back.Decided against leather for price reasons,and velour for weather reasons.

It all started by shopping for gel pads and butt buffers,and domino'd from there.I though I better quick order something before I ended up with a 800.00 dollar diamond or hartco! :head bang:

I hope we like it,the stock seat has always left a bit to be desired for my old butt.And the wife would definatly like something more suportive and wider...

$800? Holy Roflcopters, some people have way too much money to burn. :lol: Stop worrying, you made several excellent choices: Saddleman, no velor(gross), no leather.

We have one on our GL1500 and absolutely LOVE it! Extremely comfortable for both rider and passenger. I can go hours and hours with no discomfort.

Cool, new seat for a new year of "comfort" riding. Good choice on the seat.

I have an older Road Sofa and recently installed a drivers backrest:

When going to Randakks Rally this year I had a tube style bag that was attached to my back seat which provided me a lot of back support. Now I'm thinking about getting a back support for my seat. Like yours but with my modified stock seat I may have to get creative. :idea:

I bought their cheaper seat earlier this year and I have really liked it. I bet the roadsofa is fantastic.

I bought my backrest from a member here that sold it because it wouldn't fit around the larger seat like this. I'd love to have a sweet butt cushion like a Road Sofa, but I also like the folding backrest I have. I see the Sofa has a built in backrest, that, I assume, just slides on/off. How does that work? Is the seat that sturdy that it can have a bracket for the b-rest to fit into without flexing? And, does the bracketry for that create a "hard spot" for the passenger? Is the b-rest adjustable up/down fwd/backward?
Inquiring minds want to know! :?

I have just installed a Rode sofa backrest and the bracket that is built into the seat is really strong. The b-rest folds forward for the passenger to get off and it is adjustable forward, backward by thumbscrews.
