The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

My new seat finally came in from Thailand. The look is fantastic and the quality is first rate. The problem is that, at 5' 11', I was looking for more leg room. This seat is comfortable but simply not what I was looking for in terms of positioning. I might give it another day or two but it might be available for sale if I can't get used to it. It is designed to fit on any 2014+ PCX. Please let me know if anyone might be interested...

Is the problem lack of leg room? In order to get that back brace, there is a problem once they try to go back any further than where they have it. Consider the angle of the bike and what would happen if as they move the brace back. You start to lose the height from the brace, and the further back you move it, the more of the brace you lose, until there is no brace left. I know because I am 5'10" and had the same problem. Even when I had them make my seat to my specifications I knew that the brace would be almost non-existant. My wife is only 5' tall and has the same complaint. Keeping all of this in mind, your other option is highway pegs of some sort. I have been seriously considering them, but so far haven't installed them. There is a bar within the floorboard area. With a little ingunity you could attach commercial highway pegs to it.

Yes, lack of leg room. The photo on the internet gave me the illusion that this seat might move me down and back slightly. The new seat is comfortable but that backrest does not allow me to push back a little bit like the stock seat does. I am very pleased with the quality of the seat. It is well built and enhances the bike's appearance.

I have the same situation on my seat the stocks one just pushed me too far forward so I did the system 7 seat from bikerbitz which I think may be what you're looking for..... allows you to push back a little bit more. Many are getting these seats re shaped and stuffed locally, you might try that. Also maybe lowering shocks would help? I have a brand new set for sale.

What Glen said, pretty much.
At 5' 8" I just needed that couple inches rearward that put me into the 'hump" on my '13. It appears the specs these seats are based on come from the average Asian (small-frame) style of human. That seat DOES look real nice but.... Still made for an Asian-size human. It's possible you could have the seat re-worked here (or, maybe there) based on measurements you give them. Too bad the U.S. is sort of a "scooter backwater" in the world. I reworked my seat into a flatter-style, too. (this thread:http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4794) I hope you find a nice compromise.

Glen, Would you say the new seat is Two Inches lower than the stock seat? The front part on my stock seat ( the part facing the key ) measures 8" tall. It looks like your seat starts off shorter ( maybe 6" on the front part? ) and stays about two inches less tall to the very end. It also appears to be even in height ( or below ) the area in the back where the rear handles are. Can you confirm this for me??? Sorry to make you go out to the garage with a ruler...

I'm across the country this morn, will check when I get back next week. I really didn't notice it being any shorter when I changed, I just noticed that I could push back more to a comfortable position.

Thank You! BTW, I really like all the stuff you did to your bike... You are an inspiration to us all (LOL).

I just order the system 7 seat from bikerbitz for my 2015 pcx, still waiting ! - Are there 4 or 2 screws to fix the seat on?

I am still waiting after 3 weeks, no email reply. They owe me £68 - Rip off

Don't they normally state that seats are made to order and can take a while?

took me 6 weeks to get it, it is not on the shelf, made to order...

Avoid all that nonsense by taking your stock seat to a good trim shop and have them re-configure and re-cover it. That way you get EXACTLY what you want. The cost is a lot less than you would think,and you don't pay shipping and sit around for WEEKS waiting for something you HOPE works for you.
