NBR. Need some suggerstions for this seat mod..

Post by hal1 »

First all, thanks for all your help. I have found this one of the best all-around scooter advice forum.

Recently got my Honda PCX, and I want to remove the butt stop/bump. It unbolts easily enough, but I need a suggestion on how to cover/plug the holes that it bolts into. I'd like ti to be temporary/reversible.

The pics explain it all

No help, but doesn't that look like a face?

Go to an autoparts store and find a vinyl patch kit, and just patch the holes. It'll still be visible, sorta, but a lot better than leaving the holes.

Further proof that the human brain can see faces in anything. :)

Personally, I'd cover it with gaffer tape and call it good. :) Seriously. I have an entire bicycle seat covered in gaffer tape.

I like this even better. Even if it leaves marks when removed, they would be covered up by the stump bump if I put it back on

My suggestion: Do something to actually patch the holes, as indicated above, just to keep the moisture from getting under the cover. Then for cosmetic purposes, make a strap that goes across the top of the holes.

either that or get some headliner/interior buttons cover them with black leather and oput them in the holes and you can pop them out if you ever want to use the rest

That's what I was originally thinking. But(t) remember, I'm removing it so I can sit just a few inches further back. I'm going to see if Home Depot has anything that might work. I know they have something similar that you would use to plug a pipe, but once you get something to fill the hole, the cap end has to flange out enough to cover the material
