2026 Hunter 350 — noticeable vibration through thighs after 500+ km. Normal?

I recently bought a 2026 Hunter 350 and have ridden 500+ km, mostly in the city at around 60–70 km/h. I usually ride wearing jeans.

When I grip the fuel tank with my thighs, I can clearly feel vibration through the tank. After I stop riding, the areas of my thighs that were in contact with the tank sometimes feel itchy/prickly for a while.

For other 2026 Hunter owners:

- Is this level of tank/thigh vibration normal?

- Does anyone else experience the itching/tingling afterward?

- Does it reduce after the first service or with more kilometres?

- Can any modification (seat, tank pads, grips, handlebar, etc.) reduce the vibration reaching the rider?

I'm not expecting a single-cylinder 350 to be vibration-free, but I want to know whether this is normal Hunter behaviour or something I should get checked at the service centre.

Anyone found a backrest extender or a way to get more pillion space on the Hunter 350?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get a bit more seating room for my pillion passenger on my Hunter 350. The stock seat area is pretty cramped, especially if riding with a backpack.

On models like the Meteor, people often buy those simple 3-inch metal extension plates to push the backrest pad further back over the fender. I haven’t been able to find anything similar made specifically for the Hunter's shorter frame.

Has anyone successfully modified their backrest or found an aftermarket setup that actually pushes the cushion back a few inches?

Appreciate any advice or photos of your setups! Thanks in advance.
