Default Spring Seat Installed

Ordered a seat from La Rosa. They sent me the wrong seat but I'm not complaining as they sent me a better one than I ordered. I put the seat on yesterday but the weather has been crappy here so I haven't had a chance to take for a test ride yet.

That new seat does look pretty sick man, looks a bit rigid too, definitely let us know how it goes on a cruise.

It is definitely a rough ride. I currently have 2 inch scissor springs under the seat. I may have to get 3 inch scissor springs or 3 inch coil springs instead and see if that helps.

I see you are from Hammond. We'll have to ride sometime, I'm from around the same area.

Definitely, pm me or something. I went riding w/ a buddy of mine out in M'ville yesterday. He has a sweet new Ninja 650 so we've been breaking that in.
