I was very impressed by their seat on my TE 610, and after a long weekend offroad on my new TE 310 I'm ready to send it off to have them staple their magic to this pan too.

If I mailed you the pillion seat from my 2012 R1200 GS would you be able to change out the stock foam for something softer and make more of a rise towards the front of the seat?

We are working on a rear seat kit for the 1200 GS. Stay tuned!

Hey MX

What do you have in the way of a seat for a Husaberg 390?
How close to a factory blue look can you get?
A black gripper top could be OK.

I'm going to ride it a few too see how bad the OEM is.
I'm doing LAB2V and I'm probably certain that I'll need a new seat for that.

How about a rear rack?

We could use your stock cover if it still looks good.
Dont have the rack, and if you still lived close, could get you a free one for letting us use your bike for the pattern work!

If you can come up w/ a reasonably priced rack for the 70* Husabergs I'll be in line for one.

Any special instructions for cleaning the suede seat cover?

I originally posted this about my Seat Concepts seat over on Stromtrooper: I have about 2K miles on my Seat Concepts with the firm foam. While it's better than the stock seat, I think I'll need to put my WallyWorld ATV pad back on for extended trips. If that doesn't prove out then I'll buck-up and get a Corbin. Probably should have just done that in the first place. I've had 4 Corbins on different bikes and 1K days on several occasions without any serious monkey-butt issues. BTW- Seat Concepts did the install and their customer service was 100% better than my last Corbin experience.

BUT: I thought I'd add an update to my Seat Concepts experience now that I have a few miles on it (see it here: Another Utah Backcountry Discovery Rider Solo UTBDR - ADVrider)

The seat work really well. No need for additional Wally World padding, or sheep skins. I rode 4700 miles on this trip including a couple of 700 mile days to get back home and I guess the best thing I can say about the seat is that during the whole trip I never really thought about it. Temperature ranged from 31° to 101°. Even at 101° the seat didn't seam like it was all that hot. I really didn't expect this to be the case. The foam seams just as firm now as it did on day one, so if it stays that way I'll stay a happy camper.

I recently purchased a just about new (<200 miles) for my F650GS. The seller sold the bike and I was able to get the seat. While it certainly feels better than the stock seat, I can't say for sure if its the "keeper" yet. So far it has been comfortable for a 200 mile trip, and a few shorter trips and the build quality and appearance are great. Time will tell. Right now its a winner !

I've finally put some time in on the Seat Concepts 950 Adventure Tall seat and have nothing but good things to say. I got the carbon look sides, gripper top and orange stitching and I am just loving it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
I have done multiple 2-300 mile days on it and just did a 450 mile day where we spent nearly 10 hours on the move and seat comfort never crossed my mind. I cant wait to put a full season on it in 2013!<o></o>

Alex_RO · Oct 29, 2012

I'm gonna order mine in about 2 weeks . Can additional covers be purchased afterwards ? I'm not sure that if i want the gripper/carbon one or the all_gripper version ...so.. i was thinking if i can buy just a cover, later on...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but...

I have a Seat Concepts seat being delivered to me atm for my KLR650 and I was wondering if there were any instructional videos on how install the new foam and seat cover?

Type "how to reupholster a motorcycle seat" into google - lots of youtube and text hits. But as said, it is also fairly easy. Just keep looking at the fit of the cover, then turn over and staple, turn over and look, etc. Takes maybe an hour. If it ain't looking right, just some new staples and do-over.

I usually pull the cover onto the nose of the seat, then put a couple staples into the back end to keep things centered. Also usually have to pull those staples about halfway thru because the end-to-end stretch has changed - but centering is well established by then.

Yes, we sell just the covers all the time. Reasonable too.
