Default New Seat - Pics

At 5'11" I've felt I needed to sit back on my 1200n just a couple more inches. I like to stretch out a bit.

I took my bike to Rich's Custom Seats in Kingston, WA. Rich takes your stock seat and customizes it to your butt. To quote:

"At Rich's, we custom build each seat to match all aspects of your body and, if you choose, that of your passenger. To get the most out of your riding experience your seat needs to accommodate your unique dimensions. A custom seat is one made to accommodate you! Your specific size, shape, inseam, and riding style make up the requirements for a truly CUSTOM seat. A "seat-in-a-box" cannot address these aspects. With a custom seat from Rich's, you are not asked to compromise your comfort.

So far I'm happy with the look and feel. Still need to try it out on a long ride.

Rich's is not cheap by any means, but I have heard nothing but good things about their work.
