Burnt Buns

Sorry for the trouble but glad that it's only a burn hole. Please let us know what the dealer has to say on this.

The heating element has some flex to it but if the driver is prone to falling into the seat rather than easing into it, may be possible for the heat element to stretch beyond normal and fatigue. This stretched area is more prone to overheat from the higher localized resistance (smaller cross-sectional area). Another possibility is that the heater is pinched between the seat and one of the structural supports

Oppie.

Another possibility is that the driver is a f***ss. Are you a f***ss Eric? And don't tell us you are big boned.

My weight has only changed 5lbs in 10 years. Eight years ago cycled 3500 miles per year on my beloved 12 speed. I think my ass is normal... and the seat was assembled poorly.

I've never had heated seats however I'd think they should NOT burn your butt regardless of weight (within reason).

I'm the same weight at 5'11" - used to be 165 for years and then over the course of a few years I 'Blossomed' - however my ass is not fat, it's mostly my torso (and some say my head). I refuse to make any link between Ben & Jerry's, Guinness and Prime Rib (not in that order) and my 30% body fat situation. Although there might be something with the consumption of Mrs. See's chocolate's, however I'll take no personal responsibility...

...liked your response and had to add some flippancy to the thread. Let us know if you get some new info about the seat.

yeah, you would be considered fat. You should drop at least 30 pounds. so, yes, you are a f***ss.

Hey, you asked my opinion. Perhaps you should spend more time walking than warming your buns on the seat.

Tenzo - are you single, do you have small children, do you travel much for business? Do be so judgmental until you walk in my shoes........

brutal

A wise man said: " Never criticize a man until you walk a mile in his shoes; for then you are a mile away, and have his shoes."

Listen f***ss, if you don't want me to call you f***ss then don't ASK me if you are a f***ss. geeez

Apparently, only Eric's left bun is large...

pounds.

Not that simple. BMI measurement would be more revealing. There are plenty of pro football players that are the same size as Eric. T.J. Duckett (Atlanta Falcons) is 6'0" and weighs 254 pounds. He's no f***ss.
