2001 Jackal seat mod for long legs
« on: July 11, 2020, 04:42:58 PM »
I thought you might be interested to see modifications I had made to my stock Jackal seat pan to allow for some more leg room for my 34" legs and provide some sorely needed (pardon the pun) comfort.  These are the before and after pics of the seat modifications I made.

The first is a stock seat.













These are after I had the foam replaced, re-shaped and added one inch of memory foam to the top.














I used a carbon fiber vinyl on the top and a smooth vinyl on the sides.







So far it feels pretty good and gives me a more relaxed riding position.

The work was done by Vidal's Custom Motorcycle Seats in Van Nuys and they charged me $210.00 which I thought was pretty fair.

Now I can't wait to get my Ikon shocks and new fork springs and valves installed which should make the ride superb.

Looks good. Much more comfortable than the stock piece of concrete. :thumb:

I also rebuilt a crap old Corbin Jackal seat to make it much better and taller.  Much better seating position.
