So, over the last few years, while buying 4's with and without seats and having to hunt for seats, I have run into some of the most hideous slabs of foam to park one butt on. I don't know if there's been a thread to address this issue but there should be, cause allot of these things are so damn funny looking that it's hard to believe somebody actually made them , and worse yet someone else actually bought one..
Okay, I'll admit , I have some ugly seats on a couple of my bikes....but I'm always looking to upgrade.
How many of us bought our machines with a touring couch on it? I thought they were the winners if there was an ugly seat award but , recently.... I just have to show you this one.
This was made in Portland, Oregon USA ( Now I'll understand if the guys that worked at the factory in their college days don't chime in to take credit for it.) by a company called CYCLEPRO. This came in on a recent Yamaha drop off.
The pros are :
It has a lightweight plastic seat pan with some modifications can be adapted to a 550
It seems to be comfortable for the single rider, molded nicely to keep even my skinny a$$ from slipping off
Has lots of excess foam on it that could be trimmed back to a half ways decent looking cafe seat with little effort
The cons are:
Has lots of excess foam on it that should have been trimmed back so's it wasn't this freakin ugly,
Look at this giant duck's a$s on the back of this thing, Nothing says "to the Batcave Robin" to me like this seat..
I'd want to wear a mask under my helmet if it was on my bike, to secure my identity when the helmet comes off
or have a second way to the garage on some unused backroad where the police barrier automatically drops drops down and stands back up each time you pass it on this machine.
here it is , in all it's glory
If anyone else has seen a real beauty seat somewhere, and wants to share, I'd like to see it .
