Question Racher 420 seat too hard...help!

I have a 2009 honda rancher 420. I have enjoyed and loved everything about this atv until yesterday when I sat on a polaris that my wife had rented. The Polaris seat is so much softer than my Honda's. For the rest of the day all I could think about was how hard the honda seat was on my rear end! Does anyone know of a softer aftermarket seat that will fit, or even a pad to cushion it. Perhaps I'm getting old and I don't have much of a butt anyway, but dang that thing is like sitting on concrete! Help!

do a little internet research, there are a ton of companies out there who can replace foam seats for you.

If you don't want to send it out, your local auto upholstery shop should be able to do a decent job for you

Default Problem Solved!

Thanks Texasroadlawyer! At your suggestion I called a local auto upholstry company and she reccomended a "Gel" pad to go between the seat and the camoflauge seat cover that I use. Softens the seat up considerably and they did not have to take the seat apart and start all over. Gel pad was a litlle pricey but much less than a total do over or a new one all together. Ready to ride with no waiting. My ride will be much more comfortable on long trips and for that my backside is very appreciative!
