Title: Seat foam
Post by: Mickey Sergeant on May 11, 2013, 11:14:34 PM
Looking for the long Tall seat foam that someone is willing to part with. Would like new that someone maybe didn't use in a project.Needs to be the hard stiff foam.I can hear the jokes you guys are thinking of.Al doesn't have the long tall.

Al's long tall foam is harder than a rock, I hate it.
It does keeps my butt off the seat though, so I guess that's a good thing.
I've been considering drilling holes in the foam, to soften it.

I have the short tall on my other bike and I actually like it.For me the way I corner it makes it easier to get over the front end.I also found out for me it makes it easier to shift the sachs motors because you are sitting up higher and your knees are not bent as much.Makes upshifting easier.When I'm sitting low it'shard for me to get a good positive upshift.

I recently purchased a new seat foam, long tall type to replace my sorry looking original. It came via ebay in the US so I don't know who made it.

It is extremely solid, not surprising when you consider that the new one weighs 5Lb 7ozs. The original weighed 1LB 10ozs!

I reckon the original had a lot of holes inside which I won't be able to see unless I cut it open.
