So I got it. I was looking for a seat with outstanding back support. Although this seat kicks ***. How I requested it, ended up giving the rise of seat to much rearward lean angle

I called up BMC and talked it through. He says he just wants me to be happy and he would redo it


so I measured what I need and he is making me a new rendition of this seat. It's got the same proportions as previously posted. He will add 2-3/16" of forward reveal to to top of seat. Ultimately giving me full back support from top of backrest to bottom

my seating position will stay the same. I will be able to lean back on all of the surface area of the uprise and I have to say, It really feels amazing having full back support. I have previously owned a mustang vintage wide with a backrest and it does not compare to the feeling, support and look of this seat

I have nothing but great things to say about BMC. He is handling every request of mine and it's all in a positive manner.

Ill have my adjusted seat back late next week as I'm shipping back to him in the morning. I'll get pics up when I get it

Well I'm super excited. He received the seat today and gave me a call. Not only did they have to start from scratch again. I requested another detail. That is a tail bone cut out. I injured it January and can not ride for very long as I think it still broken

so. This is a wall seat with custom height, custom seat position on saddle and a tail bone area scooped out

they did all this work today and reskinned it. Also shipping it out today. As you can probably tell I'm a big fan of there constomer service and could not speak higher of the company

here are some pics of what the seat looks like now

That's cool, I like one-off custom stuff; hustle like that from a company seems rare anymore, good job by them

Added a tail bone notch out with a stitch that won't pull seat leather against tail bone


Yes that a lot of rise. But for my size it supports my back perfectly. Could not be happier
