Custom Beaded Seats

Almost all motorcycle seats follow a general pattern. The seats are wider in the rear and narrow toward the front. Many bikes accept the same shape and size of seat that we currently have in stock. (See recommendations). However, should you want a custom shape we will need the specific measurements.

When measuring your seat, please keep in mind that the wooden beads should never contact any area of the bike, other than the seat. This could cause damage to your paint or mar the appearance of your bike. In other words, DO NOT OVERMEASURE. You should start approximately 1" from the tank, do not include the sides or back rest of your seat in any measurement, only the top part, and only that part of your seat where you normally contact the saddle.
