They are very comfortable. I got a brown standard synthetic and its very well made. Seats can cost a lot and I just wanted a seat that rides well and looks good on my bike. Spent more on seats that didn't put me in the riding position I wanted so, Ed took the time to make it to the low profile spec I wanted and still made it comfortable. I'm sure the custom seat above costs in the area around 300 bucks so I'm happy as hell. Don't need to spend a lot of cash when you have great vender's like Ed.

Thanks Ed!

I agree with you Mike. Ballards seats are badass. But for $100-$200 for a (semi)custom seat that's quality made, it's hard to beat.

It's like apples and oranges. We are all talking about a custom seat between $99 and $179, and you pop in with this seat that STARTS at $750.

That's like you coming in here and showing your new $30k car, then me popping in and comparing to my $200k AMG Mercedes.

What is your point? Not hard to find the best if you have the $$$.

my point was that everyones idea of sick is a little different. that was it, don't turn this into something it isn't. that was my opinion, nothin more nothing less.

Nice! You hidin an ECU under there? That's about what I would want except a LITTLE more support at the rear similar to stock Nightster seat only moved back about an inch or two for more leg stretch. I'd be ALL ABOUT a leather saddle for $150 or so.

Im pretty sure this guy that makes these branded the seat as a sick saddle. Not that someone is saying its sick lol... Iv thought about one, but I put my stock seat on and it sat me to close to the ground not sure that I would like this one either.

Yea it's under there, I feel it when I hit a really bad bump but low is what I asked for. Ed warned me but he still did a great job and only feel it on occasion. I'm considering removing it and puttin it next to fuse box. May start a thread and ask for some idea's on moving it as well.

I was in fayettevile arkansas a couple of years ago doing a job.


Left my scoot at home. I saw a few rider guys up on very spendy Harleys. Their seats cost more than my whole ride. Must be nice. Big time brag rights I am thinking.

Not cool I am thinking. The sick boy's make a good product. No reason to shitout another that cant buy that kind of stuff.
