Final tweak to the seat.. end result: 2 - 14x14 (1cm each) gel pads with plastic wrap removed on each edge so they stick together and stick to the stock cushion to prevent movement plus 2 - (1" each) foam pieces. I also loaded a few foam pieces under the front portion of the seat between the plastic tray and the stock foam to raise and level the seat. It's now as good as it can get and very comfortable.

Just a quick update: sold my '21 RX4 yesterday to a local buyer who did his research and got a good deal in my opinion. Sold it for $4800 and it had 1500 miles. I'll be sticking with my Brozz 250 as my dual sport for now and then looking to replace the RX4 with a cruiser as my touring option.
The RX4 was fun for the few months i owned it but there were a few things that i could not get past that ultimately led me to the sale.. the seating position was uncomfortable for me oddly and put strain on my sciatic nerve while riding despite the comfort mods i did and second the power was just not enough for me.. i like to have some grunt on hand for passing and occasional spirited rides.. also.. the high-rpms at speed were not so comfortable.. a cruise bike (at least 1100cc) should be much more comfortable for long distance touring and cruising and the Brozz will suffice for any offroading days i plan for.. Thanks for the support and guidance through the process, it was much appreciated and I hope any posts/mods i posted help others.

on my 2021 RX4 (also blue) I noticed to move the windshield you have to unlock the bolts on both sides of the bracket then the knob will move it ! without doing that you can strip the threads of the adjusting bolt....
My bike is too tall for me so I lowered it front and rear 2" and also I discovered that the rear suspension is very stiff.... the spring in particular is very hard so I am in the process of putting in a lighter one....
My Altitude here is near 4000' ASL and my gas mileage is in the 40's to 50's in MPG
according to the dash... I replaced the foot pegs with the wider and longer real toothy ones that I got off Amazon , I put a pare like that on the Kids TT250 and I liked them so much I got them for my RX4 too...
2 things I hate about this bike... 1) the heavy weight. at 450lbs it should be 100lbs lighter ! ..... 2) the rear suspension is very very hard.... and so is the seat but I can live with the seat but the rear swingarm never moves ! I rode the bike for 120 miles with only 28 psi in the rear tire just so I could ride it.... other wise the ride is so rough it is no fun to ride it beats me to a pulp ! .... hopefully I will change that shortly.... we'll see
.....notice there is no sag when you sit on the bike ? that is totally WRONG they really screwed up there !!!!!!
.....
and how the heck did you post pictures here ? it won't let me post a single picture because their too big !
...
Bob.....

For the second time I'm throwing you this link, download the free version, it doesn't have a time limit, it's forever, set the resolution to medium or so, which after conversion will give you a JPEG file size smaller than 195.3 KB and you can upload it.

Not a Windows guy but my iMac lets me re-size pretty easily. If 195K is the magic number at least I know how small I need to make the file. Thanks for the info.

What no complaints of NO sag and the rear is as hard as a rock ? I don't understand
are your butts made of steel or what ? maybe your roads are smoother but my bike rides like a truck any divot in the road is like Bamm and your ass comes off the seat...
the front is fine but the back of my 2021 RX4 is really hard ! did I just get an odd one or what ...
