8. Custom Seats

Renazco makes beautiful hand built custom seats for many different Adventure Bikes.

Sometimes even an aftermarket seat can’t give you the comfortable ride you desire for those long motorcycle rides. Or you may find that there is no aftermarket seat available for your motorcycle. A Custom-built saddle is the most expensive option for improving your seating comfort, but it may be your last resort if all else fails.

Hand built, custom seats are the ultimate comfort upgrade for your motorcycle. You can get a custom-built seat made to fit your body proportions and desired firmness. Each seat can be customized for the seat height, shape and foam firmness you specify. Just provide the company with your measurements and custom requirements and they will go to work creating your dream seat. You may also be able to make an appointment to have the seat personally fitted to you backside. Often, you will need to provide the company with your existing seat as a donor so they can re-use the seat pan.

Two popular companies that offer custom-built seats for Adventure Motorcycles are Renazco and Bill Mayers Saddles. Contact them through their website to find out if they can make a custom-built saddle for your Adventure Motorcycle.
