Bench seat for Buddy 125

[quinbus]

I'm a tall rider (6'5") and love the 125 for city street driving.

Except.

The seat.

I end up sitting on the far back end and because of the way its made, I'm always wanting to slide forward and mostly end up sitting on my tailbone.

Has anybody run across a bench seat alternative, like perhaps on the Stella?

Thanks,

Q!

I reshaped mine and put in a 3/4" gel pad right in the center. I took the small ridge away, installed the gel pad and re-stretched and stapled the factory vinyl.

I didn't like the feel of the ridge when changing riding positions.

It would be fairly easy to add a little more height to the seat.

Here is a thread on doing this to the kymco Like. My work in process pictures have been removed, but there is a picture (first photo) of the final product.
