Pricing

All seats are individually custom quoted, here are some sample prices:

ALL SEATS PRICES ARE CUSTOM QUOTED, AND RANGE IN PRICE FROM $375.00 FOR A sport bike DRIVER SEAT ONLY to well over $1000.00 FOR A FULL DRESS TOURER INCLUDING Passenger seat, BACKREST AND ACCESSORIES.

Typical Sport Bike driver seat: $375.00. Recover passenger to match, $100.00 to $200.00.

Rebuilding a passenger seat to Kontour Specification on MOST sport bikes is not practical and will not yield any additional comfort for the passenger since they are so incredibly thin and tiny.

Most seats with separate and detachable Driver and Passenger sections: $475.00 and $350.00 built to full Kontour Specification. Recover passenger to match, $200.00.

Bikes in this category are most GS, RT and GT.

Most dual seats (one piece Driver and Pillion): $575.00 to $875.00 with the driver and passenger section rebuilt to KonTour Specifiation, $100.00 to $200.00 less with the passenger section recovered to match.

Most Large Touring Bikes like the Can Am Spyder, BMW K1200LT or Honda GL1800: $575.00 each for the driver and passenger rebuilt to KonTour Specification, $350.00 to recover the pillion section to match without any foam modifications. The GL1800 is is available only with full KonTour Specification rebuild of both sections. For riders from 225 to 350 lbs. or serious distance riders - no matter what your weight - we recommend considering our MAGNUM design which adds outrigger wings made from a high density composite. This configuration will spread pressure over a greater surface area and is up to 4" wider in the rear of the seat. Add $200.00 for each seat built to MAGNUM specification.

The optional BakUp back rest is available in three different specifications and is quoted depending on the type of bike

  • As it comes from the factory in all black vinyl.
  • With the face recovered in our barrier fabric and Polar Mesh.
  • Built to KonTour Specification with barrier, Polar Mesh and dual density 3M visco elastic foam. This configuration is best if you like lots of pressure on your lower back to force you to sit more upright. The visco will mold to your spine without creating hot spots. While it takes some getting used to, I personally like this configuration since it dramatically reduces neck and shoulder fatigue.

Please note that our seats do not require an additional rain cover that others charge up to $45.00 for each seat!  The aluminized one piece polyethylene barrier fabric located directly underneath Polar Mesh waterproofs the foam. It is glued in place, there are no needle holes or seams to allow water to penetrate. Polar Mesh is 100% hydrophobic, it cannot wet.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CHEAP SEAT USING INFERIOR MATERIALS LIKE THIN VINYL AND POLYURETHANE FOAM MADE IN CHINA WE ARE NOT THE COMPANY FOR YOU. WE USE ISO AND/OR ASTM ENGINEERED/MILITARY SPECIFICATION AND CERTIFIED MATERIALS FROM COMPANIES LIKE 3M and DUPONT, SOURCED ONLY FROM THE USA.

WARRANTY

There's no top cover material - not vinyl, leather or even our tough polyester mesh that can handle sun constantly without being damaged. We recommend covering your seat when outside. The cover is warrantied for 12 months for the original owner. The foam composite is warrantied for 3 years from the date of manufacture for the original owner. If your seat has been abused or left out in the sun or elements unprotected this warranty will be void. THIS WARRANTY APPLIES TO EVERY SEAT WE MANUFACTURE, REGARDLESS OF STYLE. IF YOUR SEAT COVER IS DAMAGED DUE TO A CRASH, BURN, CUT OR EVEN BOOT SCUFF IT WILL BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE for the original owner for a period of 12 months.  We will be the sole and final authority to evaluate your cover and/or composite for warranty consideration. OWNER TO PRE PAY SHIPPING COSTS TO AND FROM OUR FACILITY for all warranty claims and include a pre paid UPS ONLY return shipping label along with your seat. We will not send seats collect or by any other shipper, EVEN if prepaid.  Any and all returns for any reason must be issued an RMA number by us prior to return. Returns not having an RMA number clearly indicated on the outside of the box will be refused and returned to sender.  Additional return shipping costs will be incurred.

COMFORT GUARANTEE, REFUND AND RETURN POLICY

When we build your seat it is custom fabricated exclusively for you like a pair of fine bespoke shoes by highly trained artisans - it is custom fitted and takes hours to build. Due to this high level of individual build there are absolutely no refunds. 99% percent of our customers are EXTREMELY happy with what we make for them. While low OEM seats can be greatly improved by our process they cannot ever be made to perform to high comfort specifications inherent in thicker, higher seats unless they are made wider in the rear. This is also true of ANY of our competitors using ANY TECHNQUES or materials. We CAN build very high performing and more comfortable low seats when they are built to wider MAGNUM specification at additional cost when initially ordered. None of our seats once built can be modified further or upgraded without starting over from scratch with an OEM seat. Our seats are permanently glued together with extremely strong adhesives which will result in the foam being torn if an attempt is made to take them apart. Heated seats have special issues which we will not guarantee, please see our FAQ's for a more thorough discussionon heated seats.  We stock a wide variety of OEM seat pans that we may use to fabricate your seat instead of the seat you send us. We do this in order to expedite your order and improve productivity. These OEM pans are not available for advance orders - we must have your identical OEM seat and pan physcially at our facility before we start to fabricate your seat.

Turn around time once in our shop is 2-3 days with a production date. We need your intact OEM seats to work with, we will not work on any seats that have been previously modified. They must be exactly as they came from the original equipment manufacturer.

HOW TO PLACE AN ORDER and PAYMENT

When you order a seat we assign a definite production date and require 100% nonrefundable prepayment to hold this date. We accept personal checks, money orders or PayPal at [email protected] or you CAN use a credit card with PayPal. If paying by personal check return shipping may be delayed up to 10 business days in order for the check to clear. It is your responsibility to have your UNDAMAGED and intact OEM seat delivered to us prior to the production date. We'll need to know how many seats you are sending to calculate shipping charges which should be included in final payment. We charge close to actual shipping costs to return your seats, typically in the range of $20.00 to $75.00 anywhere in the US. We only accept shipments by UPS, DHL or Fed Ex, etc. DO NOT send your seat "signature required" as it will dramatically delay production of your seat or by US Postal Service as we do not have service at this address! We do not have time to interrupt production multiple times during the work day to sign for deliveries. Your seat is shipped to a secure location and your standard shipping receipt provides proof of delivery. Any and all returns for any reason must be issued an RMA number by us prior to return. Returns not having an RMA number clearly indicated on the outside of the box will be refused and returned to sender. Additional return shipping costs will be incurred.

We DO NOT DO REPAIRS and any seat received in less than satisfactory condition or previously modified - in our sole and final opinion - will be returned to the customer at their cost plus a $50.00 handling fee.

Missed production dates due to no payment, or non receipt of seats on time will forfeit the production and date and be re-scheduled a time allows. Normal turn around time is 2-3 business days, custom orders or large orders including accessories may take significantly longer. Express shipping and rush order status is available and surcharges will apply. We ship worldwide.

When we custom remanufacture your seat it is completely taken apart, measured, cut into pieces and rebuilt using a precise process of lamination with extremely strong adhesives which once bonded cannot be separated without destroying the seat.

All specifications, polices and prices subject to change at any time. Once any final payment has been received prior to construction your order cannot be cancelled and the payment will not be refunded, regardless of reason. By placing an order with us you acknowledge that you have read all the information in this web site and agree with it.

To place an order or prepare a quote, we need:

  • Your full name
  • Shipping address (to calculate actual COST for return shipping - we don't mark this up and consider it a profit center as many competitors do with bogus "zone" shipping rates.)
  • Telephone number (required for shipping, and no - we won't call you or sell your number to others.)
  • Make, model, year of bike (we need the specifics in order to give you our best advice for a custom rebuild.)
  • Your weight and inseam for driver and/or passenger (the composites we use to fabricate your seat vary in density and thickness - we build seats based on the weight of the rider.)
  • Options (like changing height, changing the pitch, narrowing the nose, adding a back rest, etc.) (give this a LOT of thought - as a custom manufacturer we can make small changes that can have a profound effect on your comfort. Even something as simple as raising the front of the seat by 1/2" can make a difference if you are constantly sliding forward.)

We'll prepare an invoice for your approval and send it via E-mail. Once approved and along with your full prepayment your production date will be scheduled on a definite basis.
