The pillion complains the seat is too hard

Some pillion seats are made very narrow and also shaped in a way that the seat can feel like a wedge placed under your behind. The small pad on the rear is more for looks than anything else in some cases. Some can be reshaped and seat customizing with the size of the pillion in mind. This may make some difference.

My seat is too narrow. Is there something you can do ?

Some motorbike seats seem to be very narrow and you wonder why. Motorcycle seat widening on many dirt bikes and road bikes can be very successful. Some bike seats are not so well suited to the widening process. We may need to see the seat to determine if the seat is worth making wider.

Some times a wider motorbike seat is better. You can send us a couple of pictures of the seat to determine if it is worth altering. Or bring the seat in and discuss your options Please ring before and make a time.

Can you move the seat position further back?

We have moved the Motorcycle seat position back on a range of motorcycles for  tall riders and those wanting a different position. Most seat positions are made to suite the average rider and may not  be comfortable if your tall. Not all seats can be modified. 

Motorbike seat alterations and customizing are common these days. If in doubt about what can be done. Give us a call for more information.

Can you soften the seat or make it harder ?

The memory foam after many years can go soft  and need replacing.
Other bike seats can be very hard and may need the foam re worked to make the seat more comfortable.

My coccyx gets sore after short rides. Can something be done ?

Sore Coccyx. Very common problem. Some riders think the foam is to hard and causes the soreness. Not always, some times the curvature of the seat can be to blame. Some seats curve forward and also sideways making the seat feel awkward. This May place too much pressure on the coccyx and create an unforgettable riding experience.  

Many seats push the rider forward into the tank and may need the angle changed. The seat may need to be made higher at the front and lower at the back.  Foam rubber can be removed from areas of discomfort and be replaced with something more suitable. Softer, Firmer foam may be required or a reshape to help relieve the pains of riding. 

Thigh area can be a problem for many with pressure pains. Reduction in that area may ease the pain and is not suitable on all bikes. We may be able to Customise the seat for comfort or for looks if required. If you feel sore after a short ride, give us a call. Yes we think we can help in many cases.

I have a narrow rear seat pad. Can it be made wider ?

Some rear motorbike seats have a very small seat base and are already extended to the limit, Some may not be able to be widened. If your seat is very narrow and you wonder why. The seat may only be for looks and nothing else. Some seats may benefit from widening and others not so. 

We may need to see the seat to determine if the seat is worth making wider. Some times the wider the better. If you cant bring the seat in due to distance then take a side - back - and top picture.

Send to us by email and I will let you know what we can do.

Will the seat look original ?

Some seats may look original an some may look very close. There are lots of places on the net that can supply original or after market replica covers to fit your motorbike seat. We can fit the cover if needed for a reasonable price.

How long will it take to repair or recover ?

We repair or recover all seats in the order in which they arrive. This way seems to work the best. We like to get your seats out as quick as possible and it may very 1 week to the next. 

Seat recovering and extensive remodelling of seat foam and covers can take 1 week or more.  Please be patient and ring for progress on your seat.

I live interstate. How do I get the seat to you and returned ?

COD in Australia.  How to wrap and send your parcel

What is COD? We send the parcel to You . The parcel arrives at your post office. Post office notifies you it is ready to pick up.

All you need do is pick up the parcel and pay for the goods

If you live interstate and are worried about sending your seat in fear of it being lost.  

Then for a small fee it can be insured for loss or damage in transport. 

Most of our seats are sent by Australia post and may take a couple of days to and from. 

Customers can also send goods by any other transport if they prefer.

I have found Australia post to be the cheapest land freight and reasonably quick. 

We can send the seat back COD if required.  Direct transfers into our acc can be made if convenient.

As a precaution Please Ring to discuss before sending seats.  We don't want any to go missing.

A Hint. To keep the cost of freight to a minimum. Packages should be kept as small and light as possible to reduce cost.

The parcel must also have sufficient wrapping to stop damage. Free option. Bunnings, your local pub,and many supermarkets have empty boxes for free. You only need ask.

Keep the box as close to the size of the seat even if you have to cut the box.

What does it cost to recover a seat ?

Some seats cost from as little as $45-00. Each seat may vary in cost depending on many factors.  Our Custom Seat prices are reasonable and far better priced than Importing New Motorbike Seats.

The fitting of seat covers supplied by the customer start from $35-00

Yes we can on some seat bases. Best to ring and have a chat about what you would like done. If you can modify or make one your self, we would need to look at it before quoting

My pillion gets sore. Can anything be done ?

There may be a few options on altering the seat. The foam may be the problem in many cases or reshaping may do the trick. When we have a chat and find out a few more details, we will give you an idea what we think may help.

I have a late model motor bike and it is uncomfortable

ome of the late model motor bikes do have very thin padding under the rider and could use a bit extra fitted where it counts. This may be a problem if you are short and can't afford the extra height. We may be able to reshape the seat for extra comfort.

You never know, we may still be able to help.

The seat foam or seat cover is torn. Can it be repaired ? 

Yes in most cases. We have had some with pieces missing and we rebuilt them to the original shape. Seat covers some times get a small rip and need repairs. 

We may be able to vinyl weld the cover and have it looking good again.
