Anyone have a good way to improve the comfort of the OEM seat? Options

[malcolm2]

Things to do before the 2017 Okteenerfest.

I want OEM seats, but the foam just ain't cuttin' it. 6 hours to and from Banner Elk was not comfortable at all. Even with a food break at 3 hours.

IIRC the foam I currently have had 1985 stamped on it when I re-did the hardy board under the seat, so it is not original. But it is still old.

Ideas?

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has additional wisdom to add. My big Black Friday purchase was a pair of seat kits and new seat bottom foam from 914rubber, so one of my winter projects will be recovering the seats. I never had any complaints with 914 seats but it has been 30+ years since my ass spent any serious time in one. I'm wondering what I might do "while I'm in there" to improve comfort. Three items in particular I'm thinking about.

1. Replace the seat back foam just because it is old.
2. Add inflatable lumbar cushions under the fabric.
3. Add a 1/2" of memory foam.

All of these have been discussed in this thread so just looking for an update on current thinking. I'm especially interested in hearing experiences from people who have done any of these. Any mods will have to be stealth and not alter the stock appearance.

Oh, and even though I live in the frigid north, I'm not a fan of heated seats. We have a car with them that I never use. I can just pee my pants if I want my butt to feel like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
