The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I used to have this on the V-Strom I recently sold. It fits my 2013 PCX fairly well. These Sit-N-Fly covers are better for summer months because it's a mesh that allows air flow under your behind. It does provide some cushioning but it feels like sitting on wire mesh if you wear thin pants. It does ...

These scooter seats are a challenge. The manufacturers wanted plenty of under-seat storage space while still providing comfort to the rider. They're not like a bread-loaf seat on a 1960's Honda. I've watched some videos on sculpting seats, but I'm not sure if I want to go through all that.

I'm still tinkering with this seat and I'm getting there. I hacked off those two humps (see photo in album). Those had to go. I got some high density foam from Joann's Fabrics, but it's still too soft. I need something like thin closed cell foam from a yoga mat or something. https://photos.app.goo.g...

Today I put some Reflectix ( https://www.reflectixinc.com/ ) under the cover. I had lots of scraps around the house so I didn't have to spend any money. It's like 2 layers of bubble wrap. It helped a little. I took the scooter out for about 15 miles, and it felt much better. Not as good as the Kawas...

My seat's becoming tolerable, but it still needs a little tweaking. There's still room between the seat and cover to put a little more foam in.

My generic rack arrived today from China. It went on pretty well. A stepped drill bit worked well for cutting the holes in the plastic seat rail cover after I drilled small pilot holes in the center of the indentations. My box is a Pelican-style Chinese knock-off from Harbor Freight. I already had i...

These are those bumps I was telling you about: There's an expansion crack about every 20-30 meters. They're not so bad in the car or on a bigger motorcycle, but they shake you up pretty good on a small scooter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n9IvZKYEn8&t=26s

I got the scooter out for a short test ride today, and the seat cover made a big improvement. I also got a thank-you email from Cheeky Seats today and they suggested adding even more padding, like stuffing rags down into the little holes and putting cardboard over it. I use cardboard to cushion my k...

Thanks Oldie. That's a padded seat cover from Cheeky Seats. It feels good when I'm just sitting on the scooter. Today's supposed to be a nice day so I'll go try it out over some bumps. I still have to smooth out some wrinkles.

My new seat cover arrived today, and it went on pretty easily. I haven't road-tested it yet, but tomorrow's going to be a nice day weather-wise. The seat has been my only beef with this scooter, and hopefully this will be a big improvement. I'm having fun exploring short cuts through town and avoidi...

I ordered a padded Cheeky Seat cover today, but I'm still concerned about those raised bolt holes poking me in the behind. I may dremel out some of that plastic, pop-rivet in some sheet metal straps, and fill it in with foam. Where would be a good local place to look for foam of the right density wi...

I took a look at the the humpectomy thread and it looks doable. I'll live with the hump for now (it feels better with the hump than without) and maybe save it for a winter project. I believe they put the hump there to put the riders' weight right where they wanted it. My first fill-up got me 91 mpg,...

Hi, I recently picked up a 2013 black PCX. I've had dozens of bikes from 100 to 1200 cc over the years and a couple 2-stroke Vespas, but I'm getting old and downsizing. I can get on and off this without throwing my hip out. I'm liking this little scooter. I rarely leave town anymore and I'm having f...
