rear seat
05/11/06 at 19:02:42

i've been enjoying this site since august of '05 and am addicted.
i got my orange 98 then at 16960k and i just checked the odo it's at 21897.
had a great ride to work in some light rain today, as the rain turned to mist the ride home was even better.
my licence road test is scheduled for 5/25/06 and my bride wants to ride with me once it's legal .
How does one make the rear seat comfortable ?

please..., no naysayers....
i seek real advice
for example i could pound out a wider sheet metal seat base but lack the knowledge or know how to attatch the padding and cover to give her sweet end the best cushion it deserves.
thanks

If you just think it neads to be wider, I think the one piece replacements on ebay are a little wider in the back. Not sure though. 8) Kev

If your Savage sprays a little oil out of the head by the exhaust outlet, as most seem to until the cap is replaced, and leaves a splatter on the battery cover/tool housing, then it'll probably also reach your passenger's footwear, as we discovered first time out, two up. It may be only a fine spray of tiny splots but if you wish to avoid a "domestic" over ruined shoes, make her choose her footwear wisely!
