Seat Mod from Spencer
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 3:29 pm
Well, On Monday I am sending out my seat for a Long distance Modification from Spencers Motorcycle Seat Mods.
Last week I sent him a Email asking for a specific quote for the Seca. The next day I got this email from him:
Thomas,
Thank you for your interest in my work and the information.
The usual requests for your '92 Seca II seat are to correct the rider seating angle to lessen the forward slide, create an actual supportive seating pocket to help distribute your weight across the seat rather than concentrating it in the middle, and giving it a softer frontal midline to take some pressure off of the crotch. This new position rotates the hips slightly transferring more of the job of support to the bodies core muscles, relieving some pressure on the inner thighs, knees, and wrists. Adding the Supracor material included in the LD upgrade takes it to the next level and works for the rider because it is a dynamic material with an instant rebound. It moves with you, working with your weight shifts for proper bike control. If you use a material in the riders section that "takes a set" it locks you in one position and fights against you. This is the main problem with foams as the rider is constantly moving, even while cruising the highway you are making small corrections in your weight distribution. You can more find information about the material HERE.
The passenger area modification is similar but on a smaller scale. It concentrates on them needing a position that keeps their weight stable, and because of them having less contact points with the bike, a position that gives them more confidence and control over their position during braking and in turns.
Pricing for the riders area would be $50 for the actual work to the riders area, a $25 material charge for the Supracor, and $15 for the passenger area when done together. Your original seat cover will be re-installed after my work is complete so must be free of holes, rips, and not be dried out/cracked. I do not accept damaged seats for modification.
A photo of you on the bike is helpful and appreciated but not an absolute necessity. Each seat is set up specifically for the rider so any additional information you think I may need regarding your position, type of riding, any medical concerns you may have should be listed in the special instructions area on the order form. When you think you have given me too much information, just a little more should be about right.
Please feel free to ship at your convenience, all that I ask is that you drop me note when you do so that I can properly set my schedule. My current turnaround is no more than 48 hours so your only real downtime will be in shipping. If you visit my web site you can find the Order Form as well as my FAQ page which contains more information regarding shipping, payment, and a bunch (probably too much) general information. Contact me any time if you have questions.
Thanks again and ride safe, Spencer
Right now my seat sucks, after a 100 miles I need to get off and shake some felling back in my butt. The only things that stop me from long distances are my Butt and my wrist, so between a cruise control and this Mod I hope to have no more problems.
You can Google his seat mods, His Mods have gotten alot of praise on the other sites I visit. So for Under $100 bucks I will give it a try. heres his site:
