Oh no you don't... we must have a picture of the hemorrhoid cushion on the PCX saddle.

I assume you have a windows platform on a computer

Email images from your phone to yourself and then move them into the picture directory on your computer

Open the paint program in windows

file/open
choose from your picture directory any image
resize/
leave the dot in the percentage, take it from 100% to maybe 15%
OK/save
done
OMG you're jealous, aren't you!!! You're jealous because I came up with a great idea, and you weren't crafty or smart enough to think of it before me!! How pathetic!

It is tbh.

Although I used to work in hospitals and it does remind me of the covered cadaver trolleys :D

Are you still going to get it recovered?

I actually did not know this cushion was for hemorrhoids! I immediately took it off. I instead put in three layers of 1 inch foam under the pillow case using spray adhesive. It is much more comfortable than the hemorrhoid pillow. Now once I get it fine-tuned I will bring it to an upholstery shop and show them how I want it done. I rode it today with my new set up, and it was exceedingly comfortable.

the reason the roid rider looks better than this current set-up is because i unhooked the seat cover in the back, and it is now scrunched up under the pillow case, which makes things look messy. I unhooked the seat cover from the back to take tension off the seat cover so I could lose the drum over the top of the driver's sitting area. Eventually I will get the seat straightened up and looking nice. I am just happy to have found a seating arrangement that I feel good about. I was really enjoying my ride with the 3 one-inch foam pieces under the pillow case. I suspect I will be taking off the original seat cover entirely (it is already 3/4 of the way unstapled), and just getting some fabric and stapling it over the top much like the pillow case is now, but less sloppy looking.

We could just go with 'Rhoid Riders' Here's the Crest... I like it! We could put a small dead head and cross bones if you must.

I may never live down that hemorrhoid pad. I knew instinctively it was wrong. I mean it was shaped like a toilet seat. But I didn't know it was used for hemorrhoids.
I was going to make up a shirt that says, Sons of Malarkey Scooter Gang. What the heck does grapes have to do with anything? Are grapes good for hemorrhoids?

"Pile cushion" makes me laugh everytime I say it. Hadn't heard it described like that. We all learn something new... good thread 8) Gave it a little touch up for future cushion threads.

Well you're going to have to find someone else to pick on because I just hit it out of the park. I fixed my seat myself, and I did it in about 2 hours from removal of the seat to putting the seat back on. I took pics as the projected progressed. There is one note of caution. It might look pretty, but underneath that seat is ugly-ass duct tape. I bought an electric stapler, and while it worked adequately in some areas, in other areas, such as along the side, I could not get the nose of the stapler into the crevice. So I decided to just tape it up. It is holding quite well. I might have to buy a pneumatic stapler because I read in this forum that it is easier to get the head of the stapler into hard to reach areas. Plus it is good that I can take it back off and fine-tune some things before making it permanent. Rhoid no more.
