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

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.
