Thread: Anyone know the vendor at the National in Richmond doing seat building?

  1. #1

    Anyone know the vendor at the National in Richmond doing seat building?

    I have a '94 Mystic that I really like riding but the seat is the first BMW seat I have hated so much in over 50-years of riding Airheads that I just can't take any more. I'm acquiring another stock Mystic seat so I have one to build to fit me with a taller saddle height instead of the dip in the stock one to accommodate shorter riders. I don't know if the vendor that was at the National in Richmond is from the area but I'm in Virginia and looking for suggestions of custom seat builders that I can take the seat to and have it fitted to do what I want. Any help is appreciated.

    This is a seat design design I think would work better for me:


    And this is the stock Mystic seat:

    There is "probably" a list somewhere of all the vendors at the rally, but I couldn't find it with an Advanced Search... moderators?

    I've been trying!! The links to the older rally have been moved off the forum. I've tried some general searches but can't find anything. I looked at a few of the ON issues leading up to the rally. Maybe someone has the handout for the rally?? Or maybe it was all done on the app?

    When I lived in Ohio I had a buddy that was a retired policeman. For a time he was a motorcycle mounted cop. He indicated that the police bikes frequently suffered vandalism in the form of cut seats. The police used a local car upholstery place to re-cover the seats. It might be worthwhile for the OP to check with local auto upholstery businesses.

    I sent several seats to Sargent Saddle (in Florida). They allow for a wide range of user specified customization. I have been a satisfied customer.

    As a more temporary and/or cheaper / quicker option it might be worthwhile to obtain some beaded seat covers and see if the increase in height, added air flow, etc. change is a positive or negative to the OP. I believe that there are other options for seat covers also (e.g., sheep skin covers, etc.)

    We used to post a vendor list. Been some years since one was provided.
