Passenger Seat Angle

Post by glennwegner »

Has anyone had a passenger wish for a seat with a different angle? My wife finds that the forward seat tilt causes her to slide forward, and it's worse if she tries to lean against the top box pad. If you've had the same issue, how did you solve it? Mine is a Sargent.

Before you spend much money, you may get something like this. Infact get one for yourself for summer riding.

Hello
I had the same issue. You can either modify the foam or go for a custom seat build to reduce that forward slope. Makes a big difference for passengers.
