Awsome job guys ... What plastic is used for cutting templates??

Was thinking of trying to upholster my seat as im doin a college course at the moment and think this will fit nicely into one of the projects i have to cover.

Thanks :)

I agree, I have never had a stock seat on any bike (expensive too) that ever worked well (concourse being the worst, road king being the best for a stock seat...all seats still sucked. funny, i live in seattle too and went to Rich's.

I'm still trying to figure out how he got the chime to sound when measuring your ass with the pencil.

[Nitrodrums75]

lol, i think when someone opens the front door to their store that noise comes out of a speaker. imo

[peckhammer]

That is exactly right. This wasn't a planned shoot, and I had never been to Rich's before. I just showed up to have my seat done, and had brought a small video camera along. If I could have disconnected that thing, I would have; It drove me nuts.

When Rich watches this video, he looks towards the door every time he hears that chime. LOL!

i have a XR650L and it has a seat height of 37 inches, tall for my short legs so i tried to cut some foam out of the seat, it did not work out too well, so i had to buy a new seat for a little over $200 dollars. oh well, at least i tried.

Why do you sit on the seat with your normal pants on? I would do that with my 'suit'. Anyway, nice fid and hope to see some more riding!

[peckhammer]

Good question. I can only speculate on the answer. I think part of that fitting exercise is to get the seat angles right for where your thighs are on the seat. I did ride the bike for twenty minutes with my Aerostitch on. I noticed two small areas of discomfort, one of which Rich solved by further shaping. The other factor turned out to be the suit itself; it can bunch up in your crotch. Once I "self-adjusted," the ride was perfectly comfortable. For a better answer, call Rich: 866.328.9774

put your helmet on! squid.

oh, and that's an awesome bike, and nice seat!

[Airhawk1]

Looks great! I spoke with Rich last week and am sending my seat off today. Thanks for taking the time to do this video -- most people don't understand what a difference a good seat will make over the lifetime of your bike. $1k for loud pipes vs. $350 for a great seat that will completely change your riding experience?
