Today the wife and I rode up to Ventura for a custom seat build by Rocky and Adrian at Bill Meyer Saddles. We we're treated extremely well, and after the fitting and test ride, Linda drove us to a restaurant for breakfast while the Italian leather was stitched on. Adrian and Rocky built us a great seat! It's obvious that they are not only craftsmen, but take pride in what they do. My '15 RT is complete. Until the next farkle. And the next.....

Very nice, it's my thought that a visit is the best way to have a seat done.

Absolutely! A custom fit seat makes riding practically luxurious. It also increases my chances of getting my SO on the bike more often - hopefully even to Billings.

For those that can do not hesitate to do the ride in, during the build process I got to ride the bike several times as the padding was being shaped for my --- came away with a great seat
