docc Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've long looked at the shape of the "bum stop" on the Sport and thought I would like it better shaped differently. I realize Guzzi had to provide for a pillion, but I'd likely lose that for the sake of vanity and style. So, post your custom seats here and let's have a look-see . . .

JBBenson Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 No photos, but when I re-did my Sport's seat, I flattened the pan, eliminating the sharp edges of the molding intended to accommodate the battery. I also lowered the battery a bit. Now the stock-looking seat is super comfortable even on very long rides, and I sit slightly lower as well, more "into" the bike.

docc Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Looks like Walterg is building a seat. Looking forward to seeing the outcome! http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19319&p=221892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Rich Maund 2017-06-12_07-49-26 by Charles Stottlemyer, on Flickr A little wider, flatter, better foam. He's making seats again, but I don't think taking orders right now. Rich is *good*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docc, Any news on your seat project? Ah, man . . . my seat guy *retired* the very week I got your spare seat. <_> Somewhere between my custom seat design *idea* and redesigning the Tekno pannier mounts is a happy change to my hi-mile sport.

Rox Lemans Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You can go just about any upholsterer and have a bumpstop done to your seat. I had it done to my old CB750 putting in a bumpstop filled with memory foam so it would crush down for a rear passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich puts the Italian flag on the left side because Italy is a left leaning country.. He turned my Marquis de Sade designed Jackal seat from a 45 minute special to an all day all night Mary Anne seat, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
