Custom Made Aftermarket Motorcycle Seats

Worn out motorcycle seats, motorcycle seats that aren't comfortable, and just plain boring motorcycle seats need to be replaced from time to time. Depending on your wants and needs, there are options for aftermarket motorcycle seats that you can get to replace your current seat. Possibilities include getting a ready made custom seat, redoing your current seat, or getting motorcycle seats custom made just for you.

For those who were perfectly happy with their old seat, you can always just buy another seat of the same type to replace it. You could also up the style and comfort of your seat by getting one of the aftermarket motorcycle seats from Mustang or Corbin or another company of this type that sells ready made seats.

Those who prefer a more customized look but don't want totally new aftermarket motorcycle seats might want to consider sending their current seat in to get redone by a company like Sargent. You can get the foam repaired and added to for more comfort, as well as getting a new cover on the seat with your choice of over 100 colors. You can use your choice of smooth vinyl, pleated vinyl, CarbonFX® vinyl, or button-fit styles. Once it is finished your old seat will be just like new (and maybe even better than it was originally).

It is also possible to get aftermarket motorcycle seats built especially for you so that they will fit you and your needs and be as comfortable as possible. Bill Mayer Saddle™ uses the information you give them on the order form in order to do this. Questions include information on your bike (make, model, year), what you like and don't like about your current seat, your physical characteristics (weight, height, inseam) and those of your passenger, and whether you want vinyl (plain, basket weave or both) or leather for the seat cover. Besides filling out the order form, you will also have to mail them a number of things, including the seat with markings on it to show where your rear end hits the seat and various photos so they can see where and how you and your passenger sit on the bike.
