Don't worry Ratman, that's one picture you WON'T have to take!.. 
This place is just full of a bunch of wise-acre's...... 
I was just wondering how comfy that passenger perch was.... I've never sat on a Nomad, front OR back....

Thanks PC but forecast for the evening is rain followed by freezing rain and then snow, followed by -23*C temps........
OK how did I get mixed up in this one .... I'm still not riding yet either there my friend . In fact my seat isn't even installed back on the bike , yet so thanks for the offer , but haven't you caused enough trauma to my eye sight already

- March 19, 2014, 21:08:15 PMQuote from: Troll on March 19, 2014, 09:44:44 AMSince the seat is the stock solo, with the added on passenger pillion, it sits exactly the same as it did. I can't say I even notice the rear portion, at all. The dual seat I had was ok at first, but the foam gave out, and I found that on long rides, the cushion was too short for real comfort. Gel added helped a lot, but it wasn't as good as the solo, and the 2500 miles to Drift-In made that pretty obvious....
I meant how does the passenger pillion sit? Just wondering...

- March 18, 2014, 20:59:00 PMHey, BTW, I studied your pics again and wanted to point out - that seat turned out really NICE. I do like that....
One question, though - I don't remember you saying - how does it sit?? Does your wife ride with you??
