re: seats and shields

I have a '96- '900 Trophy with stock seat and the optional higher w/shield with the curved lip at the top.
My wife gets blasted pretty good with the shield, though it's fine for me up front.
As to the seat, she does not like it at all for long daze in the saddle. I tell her to get the butt a little tighter/harder and all will be ok.
What are some options. I know I can change the nose fairing to be able to use the '99 and later w/shield, but don't like the looks.
Thanx

We're here for you if you need advice on the motor, chassis, etc., but you might want to ask over in the Trophy forum for advice on the screen. It may be that a lower screen will put the wind blast in a more comfortable place.

As far as the seat goes, Corbin makes a much firmer seat that should improve things for long rides.

Cheers,
