Redone DRZ seat
« on: June 15, 2014, 07:19:33 pm »
After seeing the recent HP2 seat that was recovered, I took mine to Flying Brick. I asked for some extra width, softer foam and 10mm taller. I took a little test ride today and it is far better. The seat is still thin while standing but nice and comfy for the long stretches. I am very satisfied with the results.

Comfort on a bike should not be a 'trend'.....

Comfort on a bike is a basic Human Right! Viva!

Thanks, Ian!

Yes, the Flying Brick Store is in SHROPSHIRE street, Paarden Eiland, basically the road BEHIND TRAC-MAC, Yamaha, KTM, etc.

Bring your seat in when ready.

Chris would you be able to lower the seat on my SE but keep it relatively comfortable?

Zebra, can you work just from a seat pan, or do you need the complete seat?

He could work from the seat pan, but you would need to provide him a printed-out PICTURE, or better still, just this time, meet with him at my Store, and make sure you are BOTH in agreement about what needs doing/seat shape, etc.

I'm also interested in having this done on my DR-Z 400's seat.  It looks really good.
Since it's been a few months since the initial posts, can anybody comment on their long(er) term experience with this mod?  Still happy with it?  More comfortable than stock?  Etc.
Many thanks.

It is still good. The foam has not compressed and the material is still tight and undamaged. Rides are still far more comfortable than before.
