Replacement seat ~ X-Town 300

[Crankymotors]

Any websites for seat changeouts??

The standard seat on the x-town 300 is very defined for pilot vs passenger, but 99% of my riding is alone (😩) and I’m 6’2” so the defined area for the driver is a little tight….

If there’s a replacement seat available thats flatter I would consider switching….any recommendations?😄

Thx

Those kind of 'step' seats can be a problem for taller riders - unless they make the butt-stop adjustable - like the seat on the Burgman 400's.
These Asian scooters are not cut for taller American riders.....but then we buy pitifully few of their products!

A total seat rebuild would be a challenge.
I always 'sit' a scooter before buying - and even then I had to spend 3 days rebuilding my LIKE's seat. But it was flat to start with - so not so difficult.
I bought my Piaggio only after helping them unbox it so I could sit the seat - while it was still strapped to the wooden skid!
I knew I wanted it - but not without a trial sit! (6'3"+)


This was my Forza,  it had the same kind of seat....but the scoot was still comfortable for me.


This owner must have had your problem with his Forza's seat...it's been modified.

Then again - there's Corbin. Bring your check-book.
They'll put a seat on pretty much anything.

I was quoted £150 UK for a seat rebuild with gel inserts.

I did sit on the x-300 in the dealership but he wouldn’t allow a test drive. 😱

It seemed ok at the time. It not a huge deal, but i would like to stretch back a little further if I could as I’m usually a lone rider! - my previous cheapo chinese bike had a flat seat so never was an issue.

The specs/price/features/reliability were higher up the food chain so the x300 was bought!

Love the bike!

Gonna add some amber colored driving lights to the fake non existent lights in the front fairing because Usa regulations dont allow them to be turn signals!

Thx!

I did that with my S200...added in the European (or Global?) spec turn signals as running lights. These lights don't have replaceable bulbs, they come with a strip of LEDs inside so I went on Ebay UK and bought a pair of used ones. Wired them up to keyed power and they looked awesome.

Nice!
Gonna do the same….might add blue and amber….you cant see the blue in the day, but it adds to your visibility at night. Dramatically.
