You are correct about making molds to keep on hand. That is the first step. Once they are "ready" (??) then we get them a bike to use for this and go from there. They may not keep a ready made seat on the shelf but if they have a mold and a pattern I wouldn't mind waiting an extra week or so. I'd know what I'm getting. Perhaps they make the seat with a different fabric or different piping. That's a good thing. The main thing is to get them back into SOHC4 mindset. Right now you'd have to take your bike to California and leave it for them to make a 1-off custom seat. Let's get them in mass production mail order mode! That's what my madness is all about.
