Need some seat adjustment suggestions

[MB750]

After putting a few miles in the OEM seats I'm starting to want some adjustments. Specifically, the backward lean angle, and lumbar support.

For the lean angle, I was just gonna shim up the front. Regarding the lumbar, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

You can use something like this:

Or something as simple as a gel pack. Depends on how discreet you want it to be.

I like that, and it's adjustable.

I'll probably install it under the vinyl. I'm doing seat heaters anyway so it'll be apart anyway.

I was just in FL last week, panhandle area.
30-40s at night, daytime highs of 50-60s.
I'd definitely use seat heaters there.
In OH, definitely extends my driving season well into mid Nov.

Breeze Seat Mounts will give you that slight recline and a small amount of adjustibility

I second the Breeze adjustable mounts. They also may help a bit with lumbar as you'll be tilted back a bit. I also added seat adjusters on top of the Breeze mounts.... being on the shorter side, it was nice to get that extra inch or so.

Exactly! As a very long time motorcyclist, convection really sucks the heat out of anything. Standing in the sun at 70F is nowhere close to the same as ripping down the highway at 75 mph at the same temp.

Thanks for the tips fellas.

I’m with ya … touchy lower back, but when I got the tilt dialed in it was so nice I never got around to lumbar support. I drove around with a 2x4 under the front of the seat for extended go karting until I was convinced the tilt was right. Then I cut a chunk of square steel channel of the right height and bolted through it when mounting the seat.

I have seen a lot of people using aluminum spacers to rise the seat. That what I purchased if a few sizes. Here are some examples on Amazon (I don't remember off hand which were for the seats and which were used for accessory drive brackets) there are other places to purchase:

As for lumbar I use something similar to these.
