It’s not the seat, it’s the rear shocks

First days riding, my lower back was sore. I’ve heard people complain that it’s the seat. I always change the rear shock on my scooters and got simple YSS shocks to swap out.

Now the ride is less floaty and underdamped which caused my spine to compress alot and the seat feels fine. The shocks also makes cruising at 50+ more stable.

Interesting - shock, not seat... will contemplate a set of these accordingly:

Good price here regardless, but I wonder if 365mm (stock), or +20mm would be better?
