Hi Peter
Sorry it has taken a while to get
back to you.
You re-trimmed 3 seats for us about
a month ago. Mine from a Suzuki C50 (rider and pillion) and Belinda’s from her
Suzuki Intruder.
We first rode down to Phillip Island
for the Moto GP which was a great tester for the new seats, as previously
heading down that way our butts would be numb and sore by the time we would get
to Koo Wee Rup (45 mins). The good news is - no numbness or soreness at all, so
we were then really looking forward to our trip up to Sydney.
We spread that trip out there and
back over four days to see the sites and I can say that the seats were great. We
could easily ride the two hours or so between petrol stops with only a slight
numbing towards the end. This was simply relieved by a bit of moving around. My
daughter who was pillion with me had no trouble at all and loved her seat.
It was really only towards the end
of the whole trip that we were getting a bit sore, but after four days it
wouldn’t matter if you had been sitting on the Queen’s throne your ar-e would be
sore! God knows how we would have gone with the old padding, probably just be
getting out of hospital now.
Great work by you and great seats
now, so wanted to thankyou from the bottom of our …well
bottoms!!
Cheers and Thanks
Trevor, Belinda & Emma |

Blokes also Don't forget your seat!!! It is hard as if punting it down the
highway trying to get somewhere to ride. Got mine done at Australian Cumfy Motorcycle Seats. Peter
Nik did a awesome job from a couple of photos and a description. Keep the XRR
sides too so it still looks 2000 spec.

"...The stock seat was a “dog” & you have been able to provide me with something that makes the longer journeys far more enjoyable"Peter,Just a quick note regarding the seat on my BMW G 650 X Moto that you have just remodelled.Who said that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. I was very pleased with the outcome that you were able to achieve. The revamped seat looks better than the original, yet it is impossible to mark it as an aftermarket seat. It just looks so natural. I took the bike out for a longer run on the weekend & the comfort level on my posterior has been substantially enhanced. The stock seat was a “dog” & you have been able to provide me with something that makes the longer journeys far more enjoyable.Once again many thanks for your fine efforts. I’m more than happy to recommend your work to all my bike riding mates.Don Miller |

"...I can’t believe I nearly spent $1,200 (in total with shipping!) to get a Corbin seat from the US when the solution was here in my own back yard"I promised you I would give a full road test review to you after I’d put a few hundred k’s on the new seat. Well I had that chance on the weekend. Here’s what I found: The overall experience was a positive one! Upon getting it back from you in the post it immediately appeared wider and a little softer but not as soft as I had envisioned it would be. Having remembered you said if it was too soft it may sag I felt OK about it. It certainly looks the part with good attention to detail and workmanship. The vinyl used seems a good choice as it is not to slippery or grippy – a very good compromise with a quality feel.
I’ve ridden on it twice now with the last one being a 200K ride from Sydney to Wollembi. The standard seat was giving me a ‘tailbone’ ache after just 30 minutes or so. The standard seat was very hard and narrow. The new softness of your new seat was apparent upon first sitting on it but even more so after a while in the saddle. However, I feel the biggest improvement has been the extra width over the original design. It very effectively spreads the load across now and I do not have anymore ‘tailbone’ ache at all. I can’t believe I nearly spent $1,200 (in total with shipping!) to get a Corbin seat from the US when the solution was here in my own back yard for a fraction of that price!
What you have done with a sculpted few pieces of different density foam on top of the original seat base is amazing Peter. I certainly won’t have any problem recommending you to my friends and other riders and would be happy for you to show this email as a recommendation to any future clients of yours. God knows why Suzuki couldn’t replicate this as standard equipment and save us all the trouble?!
Many thanks again Peter, for transforming my riding experience and enjoyment of my DR650.
Best regards, Brian (West Pennant Hills, NSW) |

"...thank-you for doing such a good job"Hi Peter,
You recently lowered the seat on my V-Strom. I'm writing to say thank you for doing such a good job on it. It looks a treat, is still very comfortable and has made it much easier to get my feet to the ground. I'll be recommending you to anyone who needs this kind of work done. Once again thanks a lot.
Regards Trevor Kennedy

"...nothing but comfort all the way, thanks for a great job"Peter,
Hello again, I had you refurb the seats of my CBR1000RR a couple of weeks back with the basket weave leather and reshaped to resemble the Corbin seats, I got some pics of it for you finally so that they can be posted on your website, attached below. Sorry for the delay. Oh and the seats are awesome, nothing but comfort all the way, thanks for a great job.
As you can see they look absolutely brilliant on the machine. Top job!
Thanks Leslie |

"...A beautiful job"Peter, A short note to thankyou for your work and skill in retiming and shaping my bike seat " A beautiful job " I have only gone around the block so far but can feel the difference I cannot feel the pressure points I had before , cannot wait to go for a ride on the weekend and test it out over a couple of hundred K/Metres. My girl straight away could feel the difference and is able to lean back know before she was forced by the seat to lean forward and this placed pressure on her back. This seat redo may mean I will be able to keep the BM for a lot longer and enjoy the charm of the bike and the coffee/beer at the end of a great days ride. Thanks again I will be recommending you to all my fellow bike riders. Regards Mike |

"...seat looks great on the bike"Hi Peter,
Attached is a picture of my BMW R100RS café racer with the seat that you did late last year. The seat looks great on the bike.
Thanks for your efforts, especially with my rush to get it ready for the Grand Prix. (Unfortunately I couldn't get the brakes fixed in time so I had to drive down.)
Cheers and happy new year,
Sean |
