    Alright first of all guys I appreciate your help so far in the few questions ive asked and I really do like this forum but now im going to be laughed at so here it goes...


    this weekend I rode down to mexico (live in San Diego) to Rosarito, got full coverage insurance that covered everything for 2 days was about 100 dollars. had a great time bike was awsome beautiful trip yet here was my problem.

    I weigh 135 and about 6 foot. My friend Angie is about 90 pounds and about 5 foot. The stock seat on the vfr is pretty uncomfortable due to the fact that we both fit in the riders seat. so we could have packed a few things on the back of the bike no problem at this point.

    anyone here have this issue or know of a simple fix. What we tried was having me sit farther back and then she could still hold on. but do they make a seat for my build?

    there are lots of costum shops in socal you should be able to find at least one that would take up the challenge. as far as laughing at you only if you want me to. i've had stuff that didn't quite fit before, clothes, driveshafts, chains,fenders, you know just regular stuff. hope you can find someone to help make your riding experiance more pleasurable.

    Nepix, I'm shorter and heavier than you so I can not say if this would work for you but....

    my factory topcase has a backrest and grab handles integrated into the mount. My kids sit back against the case and hold on there. much less bumping of helmets and a better view for them. They feel more secure with something to lean against too.

    Please post pictures if you have a crew that will fit riding four-up on the VFR - all with their cheeks on the seat.
