i didnt like how i fit on my f3 ,so i have been trying out a few things out.i like how the rr's are setup with there seating. little high,leaning forward more. so a few days ago i tryed to get that with my stock f3 seat and cut a chunk out of it... i have been riding on it a few days now, and wow what a differences.i dont slide back and forth , i feel i can tuck in better and i also feel what's going on in the rear better (no homo). the only thing i found that's not right is that the front end feels a bit lighter.when i take off hard from a light the front wheels lift up..i know it happens , but it is ez'er now. i just dont know if thats is going to be a neg on my cornering. around town it feels ok,but i havent had any good corners to test it out on ..

Interesting. I've been thinking the seat will be my next tweak.
I'm thinking a little off the sides, flatten the bench out (I despise being slide forward, crammed against the tank) and dishing out for a couple of gel pads for mama and me.
Apreciate the pics of what I'll be getting into.

im about 5'9 165 ..i rode two up today and i didnt have any sliding issue.even with the passenger weight lean on me..i just need to find a way to keep the passenger from slidin.if i didnt throw out the padding i cut out. i would of made a small wage to put in the front side of the passenger seat to angle the bench to lean back. also i have the front dropped 1 1/2 and that dose not help.
On bikes with split seats, dose the passenger slide forward too?

well this has been the best mod i have done to my f3. i was at bear mountain all day sat ,driving the scenic route and working on my corning. we rode over 200 miles ( A+ for comfort). shifting my weight back and forth for corning, another A+ . i dont have to grip the tank so tight to keep the boys from getting smash into the tank all the time ( A+ for that). i let someone ride the bike that rides a F4i. he said it felt like he was sitting in a pocket.
so with all that, this is MY perfect seat. if i wasnt getting deployed this year i would of had the seat re-wrap with vinyl .i did mess up the front of the seat cover.
