I’ve designed and developed these seats for the DVT and 1260 Multistrada. In fact I’ve spent quite some time developing them, testing and revising them. Another guy on here bought one recently.

I used to get pressure points under my backside and top of my legs/thighs and slide down into the tank, crushing my jewellery.

The front is raised and the rear is lowered so you don’t slide down the seat anymore, you sit level. The material on the sitting area is grippier hence you don’t slide and it’s all round more comfortable. There’s a gel pad inserted in the riders seat which makes all the difference. Personally I found it has a weird combination of more comfort but also more contact/feedback with the bike. It’s the gel pad that does it. Much better than off the shelf foam ‘so called comfort seats’.

I’ve ridden all day and totally forgotten about the seat.

It’s a shame you’re quite a distance from me as I’d let you go for a test ride with a seat. All I can say is it’s more comfortable than any ‘off the shelf comfort seat’ that I’ve tried.

So it’s not just new covers it’s reupholstery as well including the gel pad. Either exchange or to your original seats. I can lend you a seat in the mean time though if you want it done to your original seat. However being in Ireland makes that option a bit more difficult.

I find it very comfortable and it should deal with the normal problems of sliding towards the tank. I’ll pm you the price.

Thanks. Using the site on a phone it can easily happen by accident.

If you can wait until March, I’ll probably have a set of Touratech seats for sale.

For the benefit of those considering a custom seat, be prepared to go back and have it adjusted a few times until you get it right for "you".
Just dropped mine back for the 3rd time for what I hope will be a final reshape. Although I will say I am by nature an uncomfortable git on most seats including cars, and tend to move about and fidget. Tall and slim, so not enough fat on my arse to cushion it out !

I had my original seat and really couldn’t seat on it for longer than about 1hr. Being a sceptic as I am, I got myself a comfort seat by Ducati/Touratech. And can’t believe the change. It’s bit taller but firmer and my bum doesn’t scream that often. Recent +6hr on French motorway gone fairly quickly and ‘comfortly’.

Are you still doing these? Pm sent

cheers

I think @Sam1199 is in Spain at the moment

Speedie · Apr 26, 2023

Yes - I would be interested in a price too if possible ?

freshage · May 4, 2023

Hopefully @Sam1199 doesn't mind me posting this.

I bought a seat from him over the winter and we met up in Amsterdam to do the exchange (thanks again mate!).

Pre Sam... I could do maybe 3 or 4 hours in the oem seat until I got arse smarties, numb thighs and just agonising pain getting off and on the bike due to skin tenderness.

Post Sam... I did a flat out week of 8+ hours of riding a day a couple of weeks back in Spain for just over a week. Ending with a single 17 hour ride all the way home in one day. My arse was happy the entire time. Also the gripper texture... gone are the days of crushing the nads every 5 minutes.
