Default Bitchin seats?

Has anyone had any exspence with bitchin seats? I'm looking to do the rsd tracker fender kit on my fxstc this winter. Their the only over company I found that makes a seat for the rsd kit that is not a spring seat setup.
Thanks

I will be a bigger person and not comment on Bitchin seats(HINT HINT). I've never heard anyone use the word proprietary so much in my life. LOL

They make nice stuff, but they are also very proud of their work.

I thought RSD made seats that fit their kit.

Rsd does make seats for their kit fender kit just I've been hearing a lot about gaps between the seat and frame with their seats. Bitchin seats makes them for the rsd kit but their a little pricey and wanted to know if anyone has had good luck with them. There seems to be a common opion about the company around here.

Thank you for your input guys. Has there been some bad blood with this company? Pm if you want, I do t want to spend a boat load of money on a seat if I'm going to have trouble.

I have a completely custom seat from them. It was very pricey and took some time, but it is top notch quality and exactly what I was looking for. From my experience you will pay for it, but it will be quality.

Thank you for your input. How long did it take to get your seat finish? I guessing it's for your rocker c?

Yea it's on my rocker, but not my avatar pic. It took about 4 months from first talking to Rich to having a finished product. Part of that is on me though as I told him I wasn't in a hurry.

I thought about going down this route several months ago, Called and spoke to rich at his home in Temecula,Ca (wine country) super nice guy and he was willing to squeeze me in as he has never made a seat for the rsd fender and vintage tank kit yet. I bought the rsd seat that goes with my combo and while it had no gaps it sat me so far back I couldn't get comfy and I'm 6'0..Bottom line is I still have my RSD vintage spring seat on my bike. He told me since I was going to be the guinea pig he would hook me up for 1000.00-1200.00 for a solo seat and he told me to bring the bike to his house and he would knock it out in a couple of weeks. He's buddies with Roland sands and that crew...makes nice seats but make sure your wallet is full!!
