Harley's custom motorcycle seats, easier and affordable

Harley-Davidson has taken
the cost and hassle out of ordering custom motorcycle seats
with a product that can save bikers time and money.
 A
new Custom Seat Program from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor
Accessories lets a customer design a leather seat from the
comfort of thier computer that is hand-built and to chosen
specifications.
Available for the solo
Brawler seat or the two-up Sidekick seat designed to fit
most 2006-later FX Softail models and 2007-later FLSTF Fat
Boy and FLSTSC Softail Springer Classic models, the Custom
Seat Program offers 800 possible design and materials
combinations, making it possible to create a seat that is
truly individual.
The design process begins from a customer's computer by
logging onto the
Custom Seat Program website,
where selections can be made from two seat styles, eight
stitching patterns including flames, skulls and tribal
designs, eight inlay color options and 10 stitching color
options. Once the design is complete, the customer takes a
print-out of the seat design details to a local
Harley-Davidson dealer, who will submit the Custom Seat
Program order.
The standard lead time for
seat delivery is three weeks with prices ranging from $399
to $479.
The low-profile Brawler and Sidekick seats selected for the
Custom Seat Program are minimalist designs that hug the
motorcycle. Each features a hand-laid fiberglass seat pan
with a soft, felt-finish bottom that is scratch free. The
seating surface is genuine leather, and the leather inlay
options have a simulated exotic skin pattern. Each seat also
has an embroidered Bar and Shield logo. |
