Making an oem seat more comfortable?
Would drilling holes through the seat at certain/ multiple points work? I'm talking minute enough not to feel them on yer rear!
Just a thought it had during the week tbh.

Re: Making a oem seat more comfortable
No, I don't think so
Just get a gel insert put in, makes all the difference

Re: Making a oem seat more comfortable
How would that work, just out if interest? Holes make it softer somehow?

Re: Making an oem seat more comfortable?
I just had mine re-padded with different foams that built my seat up into something lovely. The wife still hates it, but for me it is perfect. When the chap took my cover off, we found that the foam was not in the best shape and was rather hard. With different foam types and reshaping the seat pad is now supportive and comfortable, with out the hard edges.
This is also a good excuse to get custom seat covers, mine are chestnut vinyl and look lovely with the silver.
