Hello,

I have an 08 Nightster. As most of you know, the seat leaves much to be desired. I was thinking about taking it off and apart and adding some padding or, changing the foam all together.

Have any of you tried or accomplished this?

Thank you

Yes ,I modified mine with a wide Mustang Vintage solo,I'm very happy with it.

 

I took the vinyl off the stock seat, shaved the foam back 2", and re-upholstered it in leather. WAYYY more comfortable!

 

i had a bit of padding added toward the rear. it helped a bit.

 

Thank you Snidermire and Certainteed. Covering the seat with leather would be a great idea. Leather as it breaks in, feels more comfortable over time.

Snidermire do you have any pics of your seat?

Thanks

Here ya go pal... that design is laser etched into the leather.

 

Not a nightster, but...

I pulled the cover off my stock seat and trimmed foam out of it. I made it fit my butt better and the results were great.

 

Very nice.

Thank you Snidermire

 

put a lapera bare bones on mine,love it.
