I love the Gen 5! I just did my first track day 2 weeks ago and signed up for 2 days at COTA the next day. I have a question for the experts. What are the options to decrease how much I slide back when riding. I've seen some guys have extended pads on a cowl cover but they were pros so I'm sure it was custom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're going to want to custom cut the foam pad on your rider seat or add a bump to it under the seat cover. You don't want to use the seat cowl to keep you from sliding back. It's not meant to support any weight and a good hard hit from your butt will break the mounting posts. It's more for looks than a functional back pad. Or go with a race tail.

Yeah, that would be a good option for a race tail. That would support a thicker bump pad on the back. See if Mike at Riders Discount has some other options for race tailsections.

Something like this also would be an option that I was talking about.
