The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I have an entirely different seat from powerbypcx.com but the one thing I noticed was that the plastic frame was different from what is on the 150. That may be the reason it can be modified to so many different formats. We bought the one that sits very low because my wife is short. Some of the othe...

Thanks HawaiiJ!

My guess is the Airhawk is probably better.

I've got my PCX150 tweaked, except for the seat! I didn't like the little hump, so I took it off, and had a local upholstery guy fill the hole with foam and recover. But where it was filled in was kind of a hump, and it was not comfortable on long rides! I'm thinking of ordering one from Thailand P...

How did you install the 12V adapter? THE must have is a GPS. Makes backroading SO much fun. The 12V adapter is great, put mine in glovebox. I also like the tall GIVI windscreen, but I wonder if I will want to take it down in the hot summer? Bought the socket on eBay and had a friend open up the fro...

My Garmin NUVI is about 3x5"...

Hey, what rack have you got? The base for the GIVI box?

I got the handlebar mount and waterproof gps holder from eBay. Perfect spot!

Oh, got a new plate

I did the same thing last year- but only had the Metro for a few months! Somehow I got it in my head last spring to get a scooter. I took a photo of a red/white Met I saw in Epping NH years ago, dug it up and decided THAT was the one to get. FOUND one on Craigs list, AND it fit in the back of my Sie...

Why bother with stitching? Why not just use a stretchy marine vinyl like what was on the stock seat? Looks? (I would think it costs a lot more!?)

HawaiiJ... the stitching on your seat looks like a Powerbypcx!

Pretty well parked for the winter. It's getting up to 40F in the sun today so I've got the bike out for a startup and maybe a little ride (fill up and stabilizer).

Thanks, I think you sold me one! I'll re-work my own stock seat and pop the Airhawk for longer rides.

I still use an AirHawk cushion for my trips and would not think of traveling long distance without it.

Airhawk, eh? Just a quick look shows that they're not exactly cheap! $90-140... as much as a new seat. Worth it, if they work! Which one are you using?

Hey, HawaiiJ, would love to see some photos...?
But as you're in Thailand, I would have thought you might get one of those powerbypcx seats! At least you could try them out (I would love to try, though the real test would be a 3 day ride)!

Thanks, that seems to be the one they're recommending. Though it looks like their "hump" (backrest) is farther back (on TYPE3 http://www.powerbypcx.com/achat-selle-type3-carbone-coutures-rouge-noi-269439.html )? and surrounds your butt end... Could like that as well. Does LOOK comfortable!...

Have been using the new seat since then with no problems. So, you swapped out the original stock seat. You like this one much better? ("no problems" doesn't sound like you're thrilled!?) (Oh, I also see "it's a heck of a lot more comfortable") Why did you pick this one of the va...

And I'm sure you did EXACTLY what he did,

?? Obviously not, as it wasn't the same upholstery guy. So mine didn't work out, his did. Maybe I should find out who it is and send it to HIS guy.
Meanwhile, I hope to find someone who's got a seat from powerbypcx. Thanks.
