Motorcycle seats are one of the motorcycle components that can ensure riding comfort. There are many ways to make your comfort in riding always maintained, one of which is clearly by making your motorcycle seat more soft.
Unfortunately, the seat of a factory-made motorcycle usually feels hard when occupied by the rider.
Therefore, motorcycle seat specialist workshops can generally do tricks to make the motorcycle seat feel soft when sitting on it.
One way can be done by modifying the foam, usually if the default motorcycle seat is thin, many people replace it with a thicker one.
The seat foam provided by upholstery specialist workshops can be about 2 cm thicker than the original stock. You may also be advised to install premium seat leather to make it more comfortable and cushioned.
Apart from replacing the seat foam and leather, a common way to make the motorcycle seat more comfortable is to add latex to the seat foam.
For latex, this is indeed the most trending. So, the built-in seat foam is first cut until it is thin and then latex is applied to the motorcycle seat that you want to modify," said Apip, who has been open since 1998.
However, the cost of installing latex can be a little more expensive than simply replacing the foam. If we replace latex, the price starts from Rp 250 thousand.
The last method is to add a layer of gel on the motorcycle seat to make it feel softer.
Regarding the addition of this gel, it is usually request from premium motorcycles or moges, especially for motorcycles that are often used for touring.
The addition of this gel layer varies in price in the market, if the cheap one is around 450 thousand rupiah, while for the best brand, namely Luimoto, it can be 2 million rupiah not including the seat leather.
