I wanted to create the comfort of an office chair.

This is the setup I finally came up with. A top case is necessary.

The sleeping bag is a huge one with a 3" diameter heavy cardboard cylinder inserted at its center to prevent future sag. It's held on by 2 bungee cords.

The two gel pads in one cover at front has the bottom pad doubled over at the front to create a lean-back effect and also to prevent one from sliding forward while riding.

I can ride all day with no aches or pains whatsoever.

I made the bottom seat cushion previously for my height.

Total cost around $60.

Wow, you must be really tall! Your seat is sooo high....I need to chop some off mine so I can touch-down. I'm sure others here will appreciate you sharing your "fix-it" for taller members/& with/the addition of a backrest. 8)

"I can ride all day with no aches or pains whatsoever. " And when you get done riding you can pull over, whip out your sleeping bag and take a litte nap.

Serious looking amount of comfort there. Nice job.

Back rest
I ride a gts and I had a backrest made. It's attached to the yellow crate

by Velcro, if I double up I just flip the cushon up and into the crate. I

carry a chair on the back of the crate so I too can rest or just kick back. 8) I also have the Airhawk seat, External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text
