Seat Concepts for FZ1

I sent a PM to admin the other day to see how it works. I will try and follow up and make it happen. I told Robert there was interest on this forum.

Cheers,

Jmundy: Seat Concepts is a very small operation. They're just getting a foothold in the adventure/dirt market because that's the scene they came up through. Most of the molds and backstock that I saw at the shop is KLR/DR/GS stuff. I chatted with Robert about their niche focus, and it's simply the only way they can maintain business. If they branched out to the sport bike market (which they admit they know less about, and where would be facing more competition) they'd be spreading their production too thin to stay in the black.

But hey, get everyone to support what they're already doing and who knows, in a few years they'll be able to serve a wider audience and different bikes!

No I get it. Trust me, I have sent quite a few business their way because of the seat on my WR450 and people trying it out.
 
Coming to this one a little late but I need to ask if anyone can compare this seat to the stock seat on a gen1 comfortwise? I never touched the seat on my 01, but I am buying a 13 and know that seat work is definitely in the cards.
 
Wow they want $286 shipped for the seat cover and foam now. I paid about $50 more for a full seat concept seat for my 2023 klx300ds. They must be made of gold. I asked about a discount and quickly came back with a NO!

Hi,

I have a Seat Concepts seat on my KTM 690 Enduro R and find it great for long distances. I have a Sargent seat on the 09 FZ1 and am not as happy with it, even with some slight mods along the seams.

I e-mailed Seat Concepts and they said they had a seat to work with, but needed a bike to make sure things turn out right for the masses.

Can anyone give them a hand supplying a bike for a few days so they can come up with a design for the ones of us that want another option in seating?

They are @ 869 West 9th Street in San Jacinto, CA, (951)487-0195, [email protected] .

Thanks,

MrHix

Been using an advance polymer seat cover, 0.25 inch thick, adheres to synthetic and leather seat, doesn't require any straps. Very comfortable absorbs road vibrations. Transferable to any motorcycle. Used it on stock seats. No issues riding 700+ miles in a day. Little expensive at $60, well worth it.

Do you have a link?
 
Id link you to articles on small business shutdowns during bidens term. But i dont believe they are accurate.

My point was, small businesses are having a hard time under the current admin. Every aspect of running a small business costs more.

Eggs are overpriced, i still buy em.

Was looking at this topic and noticed the link didn't work, so here is the current link. They only have one picture and to me it looks odd, but maybe it is comfortable.

I've been looking at options for my 2009 FZ1. I'm also considering something like an Air Hawk seat cushion. Anyone have experience with those?

I tried an Air Hawk on the FZ1 and it didn't do much for me.
