There are many threads on the site which I have read but dont see anything about removing the plastic bracket under the butt pad. I am 6'2" 32" inseam, when I remove the adjustable pad I get about 2" farther back which is way more comfortable. Unfortunately, the plastic brackets are both screwed and riveted into the seat. Has anyone removed these? Did you just drill out the rivet?

Funny you should mention this! Im about to start carving on the bolster myself. Im shaving all but 3/8 inch of the foam out and removing most of the plastic form. It will have the same shape as before only much smaller, only large enough in fact as to cover the seat brackets. I will replace the hex head bracket bolts with flat button heads, allowing the brackets to sit inside the seat brackets better and remove the steel support plate from the back as well. This should allow the bolster to be flat against the upright section of the seat. Riding without the thick bolster is a godsend if your tall IMHO. but i want the brackets covered. Ill be using the same vinyl to recover what will be a thin piece that is left, and im having the honda wing logo embroidered into it as well, should be done late next week!

Hi, was this ever done? Any pics? advices?

Yep Drilled out the rivets last week. Removed the brackets but it does leave the holes and slits. I used black goralla tape over them. I am crude but more comfortable.

Wow, in reading about your wing, you sure have done a lot to your bike. Do you have it to your liking now or is there any deficiencies left?

I've removed all the hardware and also taken the cover off, ground the remaining plastic humps down. Glued some foam over the plastic then put original cover back on, made a big difference in comfort. Would prefer a more saddle shaped seat though due to the fact I've got an over sized backside,
