Need a king seat for tall guy

[meteor3178]

I see all the great looking bikes on here and I'm jealous mine looks great except for the seat. I own a 1980 xs eleven SG and it has what I consider as the stock seat. It has many cracks in the cover and needs to be replaced. I'm looking for a seat that is only for a single rider and is slightly farther back than the special seat I now have (I'm 6'4" and my legs have to fold under my knees to sit down) Can anyone direct me to a place that can help me with my seat dilemma?

Talked to a foam company recently. Said could cut/shape the type of foam on our seats with an electric carving knife. Have not tried it yet.

Sounds like you need (want) a custom seat.
Since you want to R&R your cover...
You can take it off, reshape the foam to your liking, then find an upholstery shop for new cover.

Hey Meteor,

Check out COSKY's member homepage. He makes seats. Though I think he is "down under" he might know where to steer you!

Check out Diamond Seats on the web. They custom build seats according to the rider's personal measurements. They'll fit you well. I have one and it's so good I never give it a thought. I bet they can help you out.
