• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hey Ken - Did you ever get your Seat Concepts foam and cover? Would sure love to see what they are offering.

Thanks,
Jim
 
I peeled this posts out of the terraformers thread - cause these did not seem to fit in with all the racks and custom metal work.
 
I'd like a taller seat too. It also seems like my but only likes one spot on the seat...I can move around some but the spot that "fits" is ...well ...small. I've got the Strada and it's a tiny bit shorter to begin with...so a taller seat is on my short list.
 
And I would love 'lower' seat ;) Possibly wrong so I'll stick with the factory one :thumbsup:

BTW Touratech included replacement seats for TR in their newest catalogue:
- 'comfort' seat at standard, lower and higher height;
- 'breathable' seat at standard and higher height.

The latter is a good choice for 'desert' climates so might be good offer for some of you, southern US, riders.

They are not available in the shop yet, I'm afraid.
 
I can't wait to see pics. The one they did for 610 is awesome and the guys there are great to work with. I just wish that I hadn't gone with the gripper material (My choice) because I do like to slide around on the seat quite a bit and that stuff is like velcro.

Looks great. Will install and report soon. I'm sure it is fantastic like my other 3 Seat Concepts seats. Just in time for spring riding!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts. My knees start talking to me after awhile in the stock seat. Another 1" or so might be the ticket. (I'm 6' 2")
 
Did not have time to install it last night (spring break and kids doing lots of stuff) but here is the deal. Looks slightly taller, same width at the rear of your butt but the back lip that keeps your butt from sliding back is shaped better (straight instead of pushed out in the middle). The biggests noticeable change is it is about 1- 1.5 inches narrower where your legs head south. Looks like it will be a very nice seat. The shape is exactly what I would have done to make this seat better.

I would like to bring this thread back to life.. I'm not satisfied with the seat at all. It kinda wants to roll me forward... into that "hole" you guys are talking about.
I don't think I'm gonna send my seat State side but wouldn't mind if you guys explain what they do to it. Cut a whole new piece of foam? Is it memory foam?
Once they have the cover off...do you sit on the old seat to see???
Tell me more...:popcorn:

SC supplies an entirely new foam piece, and a new cover. The "hole" is flattened but the rear remains the same shape. Much easier to move a bit and more comfortable. I never really thought about seating position on my recent 150 mile ride. The dip in the stock seat goes away and that area is 1" higher. It works well.

The foam is very thin at the front, as is the stock. We used some thin tape over the "horns" at the front to hold the foam in place, and cheated a bit as the upholsterer had some spray on glue to fix the entire foam in place. He also sprayed a bit on the rise face at the back to hold the cover to the foam. that's probably no required as the stock seat cover doesn't have it, but it's a nice touch. I didn't use any glue at all when installing my SC saddle on my TE630. 'Did it all myself and it came out fine. An upholsterer will have a better staple gun though. We used narrow crown staples, 1/4" at the front so not to come thru where the foam is thin, and 3/8" elsewhere.
 
Im shipping mine to them on Monday. I dont have "a guy" to do it here so the extra $20 for them to install ot for me is worth it.

Just order the seat you don't have to send it in, the install is pretty easy and I doubt that you'll be disappointed, SC does a better job with their mail order seats than a lot of people do with their custom fit ones.:thumbsup::cheers:
