I spent about 15 total minutes on mine the other day and finally tried it out today
Freaking amazing how much better I can stay on the seat without sliding off the seat (which usually turns into a loopout)
A couple times on really steep uphill **** I was actually sitting too far forward.

Looks good. It is an interesting way of doing it. I had mostly seen seats where they removed the foam. I always have had problems with the seatcover myself. Never comes out looking good.

Wibby, check out mine I did last year. I like how it keeps me planted, and lets my feet touch the ground!

I planned on waiting til I bought new, taller seat foam but I'd been itching too try it
Man, what a difference it makes! I went up a hill Saturday draggiing my toes behind the bike, lost my footing on the pegs and was sure the front end would come up but I was able to stay on the front of the seat, and made it over the top no problem

I like it! The P O of my bike added a little extra pad to my seat. Its fairly comfy, but i bet i could shave an inch or two up front to give me a nice step. When its time for a new cover, of course. I tippy toe now, with fairly good sag, so it would be perfect! Great Idea!

Yesturday I was going up a hill I had no business even trying and the lil green machine just kept going and going. I'd lost my footing and was duck walking all the way up and if it hadn't been for the stepped seat I'd a looped it for sure, front end was pretty light, just touched enough to steer once in awhile.
Almost to the top there's an old dead tree laying in my path and pointing straight into my direction. All of the sudden something grabs my leg and I come to a halt and fall over. I look down and see this!
Luckily it did not stick me and it broke easily off of the rest of the tree

That could have been painful!
