Posts: 447 Northeastern Penna. | Does anyone think that the Vision Riders seat could be a little wider at the front?It's comfortable, but
today and at times in the recent past on 6plus hours of riding, that thought came to mind. |

But as previously stated , to each his own. |

| Funny you should ask this question. The answer is a resounding NO.
I used my AirHawk on Skyline Drive and the BRP ride 2 summers back. The large tour style which does exactly what you are asking about and widens the front of the seat just a little. I found it very uncomfortable due to the width increase in the front of the seat and stock far more comfy. I'm 6' tall, 195 lbs, with a 34" inseam. |

not noticing anything from the front end of the seat......... just a thought |

Posts: 154 Cabot Arkansas | In my 40 years plus of riding I find the stock seat for me is the most comfortable one I have ever had including ultimate,corbin and mustang.Victory got the Vision seat perfect at least for me.I recently added the utopia backrest after reading rave reviews about it.While it is comfortable I could have done without the backrest on my many 600 to 800 mile days.

Posts: 204 guelph ontario | I found that the Vic stock seat did not work for me-traded for a Corbin-no complaints -had a Mustang on Road King before and found it to be great too. Also had Mustang on V92C that was good. It all depends on your size, height and weight as to what you find comfortable. Used to use sheepskin and jelly pad which was ok but find Corbin most comfortable. |
