FAQ

What kind of material do you use to make the seat covers?
The seat covers are made using top quality products that meet all the current legislative requirements with respect to fire safety standards, fracture and tear resistance in the field of saddlery manufacture.
Materials that come in several textures and colors are PVC coated fabrics (80 to 90 % PVC and 10 to 20 % for the base made primarily of cotton or cotton/polyester).
 
Do the seats come in natural leather?
No. Although leather is a noble material, it is hardly compatible with the requirements for a motorcycle seat such as weather resistance (rain, sun, etc.). A seat made of natural leather would soon be of great disappointment to its owner.
 
Just how waterproof are the seats?
All the materials are intrinsically waterproof. Any possible water seepage can therefore only occur around the stitching and embroidery.
Nevertheless, all the seats undergo a waterproofing treatment beneath the cover through the application of a waterproof film so that the foam of your seat will never turn into a sponge.
 
What are the stitching and inscriptions made of?
The threads used in the stitching and embroidery are made of anti-UV and anti-mold nylon.

Their direct site has heaps of different variantions and discount options. Couch ordered one a while back. Haven't seen his thoughts yet.

OK..........yes, I received and fitted my Top Sellerie lowered seat (not heated) a few months ago!




The quality and fit of the seat is excellent, it replaces the OEM seat perfectly!



I have only ridden with it once and found it to be comfortable, but.............I've since reverted back to my original seat.........and why, might you ask?

I found the seat to be slightly lower than the original but my riding position was closer to the bars and I was forced to ride in a more upright position than usual.
I found my back ached after the ride and I've never had that problem previously. I have lower back problems and prefer to sit a little back on the seat however that isn't possible with the Top Sellerie because of the shape of the seat. I'm sure it would suit anyone who prefers to sit more upright or closer to the handlebars, but it just wasn't for me. It's still virtually brand new and resting within the box in which it came from France. I haven't ridden much at all this winter and I might give it another try some time down the track but for now, it's the OEM seat with the sheepskin cover (to keep the bum warm)

I thought when I first soar seen saw sore viewed the seat Barry their looked to be limited room for the boy bits...... and that it had you up right which is a good thing (for me) but jammed into the tank.....

ST Seats are like the 21 different flavours of Ice cream......



 

[Couch]

Chris, it wasn't uncomfortable in that regard strangely enough, the seat is quite comfortable, it's just that I prefer to sit a little further back on the seat and I like to be able to move around a little and change my riding position on the seat!

Boys bits....ha, always getting in the way, but who'd be without em!!

[ST2UP]

  I sat on a Corbin on a 1300 some time ago and while I didn't ride the bike (it was on a white one and I wasn't in a slumming it mood) 

I found the lower back support comforting but it rolled me and the boys forward onto the tank.....because it was so snug there was just know room to move around.....so it's a Russell for me 

Only thing more comfy in my eyes would be to strap a Dawson recliner to the roof of a Fairlane

Wait... that's the elusive French Seat, right?

[Couch]

Ha!...........I can only imagine how comfortable a Russell would be..............I must admit the thought of a Goldwing isn't too far from my mind!   Well, it's on the bucket list anyway!!

[Couch]

Yep......back in the box Goldilocks.....well, for now anyway!

Sometimes, when I buy new shoes, I get painful feet for a few weeks, and then, as if by magic, the shoes become amazingly comfy.

Wanna try tight jocks for a few weeks?
That might prepare you for breaking in this seat.
Although your derriere might be a different shape to Couch's.

HI couch,

Did you find that it was much lower than the standard seat?

That's right Marcus. That illusive French seat.    The Russell looks the goods though. Just not sure about the 'wings' that you speak of. Comfortable whilst on the go but a bit of an obstacle while stopped?

[Petenwen]

Hi Couch,
I know this thread finished some time ago but I need to know how much lower is this seat compared to the standard seat, I'm what you call a real short ass and I need all the clearance I can get. Cheers. Peter. ▶️

[Lionel]

Pectenwen, do yourself a favour and contact MJM in Goulburn. He did a beautiful seat for my ST1300 (having already modified my ST1100 seat previously), then I stacked it.

[Brock]

then I stacked it.

Not sure I want him working on my seat them>>>>>

Peter, I agree with Lionel, MJM (Mick) does nice work.

Mick re-jigged a piece Corbin seat on my 1300, great improvement.

I now have a RDL and over the moon with the extra comfit.

If you wish to try the modified Corbin, just ride to Sydney, then,
ride to Goulburn drop off your seat at Mick's and use mine in the interim.

Just a thought

[Petenwen]

Thanks guys for all your advice and thank you Dave for your generous offer of your seat, I will make contact with Mick in Goulburn to see what he can do for me. Has anyone got Micks contact details in Goulburn.
Thank you.
Peter.
