Custom Seat for the CB1000R | SW-Motech

That reminds me, I actually DID have a custom seat on the FZS600 too! Proper comfy it was too! NO idea where it came from though. Second hand purchase innit. I hope the restoration is going well Shane. I'm sure you've had some extra progress with all this forced downtime nonsense!

Hope the lugoles are healing well. That's a lot of green shield stamps but you can see the quality. Like the idea of gaining some height too. I had a very pretty girl do my scooter seat with vinyl, back in the day, before my eyes, in about half an hour. I think I paid 60 Euros ! She did a good job.

Hi Andy, Sorry I’m a little slow off the mark on this video. I’ve noticed that a few comments have already given you a pat on the back for a sensational intro and video production 👍❤️🎥. Not to sound too repetitive but may I also say that the attention to detail that you meticulously went through to produce this video deserves as many accolades as you can get 👍. SW Motech does outstanding motorcycle accessories and this seat transformation is no different. Your new seat combination looks absolutely first class 😀. I’ll have to check out if they offer the same service here in Australia. Keep up the good work (it’s hard to believe that you’re a one man band) Cheers 🇦🇺

Wow, you really went all out with the shooting and editing for this! Did I tell you that I got a Z900RS Cafe? I will be riding it mostly stock this season, but will probably change the paint and get the seat done in the winter. It’s cool that SW Motech offers this, but I’ll go with a local artisan for mine. Hope you’re healed up and riding by now! Enjoy the sensual cupping of your delicate posterior by the supple man-made materials!

You and me both! I'll be on it as soon as possible!! I'm really hoping for good things!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Awesome video Andy! Thank you. As an automotive seating engineer I can tell you that the PU Leather (fake) is far superior in terms of durability (and basically every other category) than the real leather from cows. The original one was also PU however the cross stitch pattern will also make it last longer. Plus, for cars anyway, a chemical is added to make it smell like real leather so the untrained person can’t really tell the difference! 👍😎🇦🇺

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Marcus. That's good to know for sure. I had that exact opinion on the tip of my tongue, but no actual facts or experience to back it up with. So I kept my mouth shut! Awesome that the cross stitch will extend life AND it looks great too! I never knew that they even pipe leather smell into fake leather too! 😄

[@HalfdeadRider]

I'd get mine done if it was free 😁 yours look great. Maybe I actually will in the future as I've been thinking about getting my seat on my new to me ZX9r done as it is slippery, and the leather although in pretty good condition with no tear's, it is looking a little aged and the seat is pretty hard so bit of extra or new padding would be nice.

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers HR! I suppose the seat is possible the most important thing after the tyres! (Well, maybe the engine too). your arse spends all the time riding glued to it, so it might as well be s good as it can be. I've suffered enough with a sore bottom, hopefully my suffering is finally over!! I know what you mean about the old covering. As soon as the flexibility is gone, it might as well be stone underneath it!

Nice add On! And I see you got time to play around with editing! Take care and hope to meet soon!

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Marius! Yeah, I thought I'd try a few new tricks out and see what can really be done! Maybe it's just me being the newby, but it's not easy though! 😆

[@MariusMutin]

@@AndyManCam Definitely takes time! But we learn as we go! 🙌🏻

[@AndyManCam]

Very true! Still so much to learn and to try though!

Hi Andy very professional vid, love the seat but too expensive for me.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Tony. It is pricey, but it looks SO good! 🥰

[@SantaridesaKTM]

Great Video.

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks Mr W!

[@realcundo]

Looks good! Wondering how does it work with customs, crossing the border twice. Also the website states that the shipping costs are covered by SW Motech only for orders from Austria, Germany and France.

[@AndyManCam]

All good questions. I guess that's the pitfall of this little feature, with me being in Europe already. Afraid I have no answers in this strange new separated world!

[@larbertman36]

Brilliant video - that must have taken a lot of effort. What software do you use for editing? Also liked the music (as always)! Is there any light at the end of the tunnel day-job-wise? Dave

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Dave. It's been a labour of love creating this one! I edited it with Davinci Resolve (free). TBH for me right now, the light at the end of the tunnel would be not ever having to go back to work! They can keep the money!! 😂

[@LyeDecker]

Very nice! Great service from SW-motech, but it would be more convinient for them to very first ask what brand and model and year motorcycle you have and is it a standard seat which the moto came with. Then you woudnt have to describe the seat. How should I know if it has gel or not? etc.

[@AndyManCam]

I guess it would be convenient for the user, sure. But then SW-Motech would have to build a database of every bike and every version. Plus some have a gel seat as an optional extra. So you'd still have to answer the same question anyway!

Really looks the part mate 👍

Thanks Buddy!

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Tis true, but I'll still try to bear the cost in mind when testing it! 👍🏻

[@simonbroom7459]

@@AndyManCam it does look great though and sets your bike off a treat 😀

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Simon. I think so too. After the endcan, bar end mirrors, tank wrap and new tail tidy and indicators go on, it should look PROPER tasty! 👌🏻

[@ryburnryder]

Well you've shot yourself in the foot with those high standards haven't you?! You'll be doing story boards and everything next! Very nice production indeed! Nice seat too! The price is horrendous though!

[@AndyManCam]

I did kind of think of that as i was cutting it together! We’ll have to see if i can repeat it again! Next pandemic maybe?! 🤣

shitttt ! loved th videography mate 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you very much Benya. Was a real challenge to make this one, but an enjoyable one!

Seat looks awesome Andy and should feel comfy on the bum cheeks! Here’s to when you can stick a helmet on your bonce👍

[@AndyManCam]

Here, Here Mike! Shouldn't be too long now. Looks like it might be just in time for some nice weather!

[@teapotwood2817]

Great video. Appreciate the time and effort it must have taken. You mentioned your partner riding pillion. I would love this bike but have ruled it out, as the wife wants to jump aboard. How does it actually fare in the comfort stakes, are my assumption correct, that it would be really uncomfortable for pillion ?

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks TPW. To be honest she’s never been on it. Never been on any of my bikes. But we’ve talked about it maybe being a possibility. It’s not the biggest pillion seat, but then it’s definitely not the smallest either! The lack of any kind of grab rail could make things interesting too.

[@teapotwood2817]

@@AndyManCam thanks Andy 👍would love to see some videos of how you get on with your wife/girlfriend as pillion. So hard to find a bike, that I like, that is suitable for pillion passenger. it would be nice if more reviews would cover pillion passenger comfort and practicalities.

[@AndyManCam]

Will have to see if it comes together mate. She’s not the most keen and as such would likely also be a hard critic of the experience!

[@motomat2]

Beautiful seat,BTW did you find much difference with the booster plug ,was it difficult to fit to the CB. Tank off job or prop up. Keep up the excellent vids 👍

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Matt. it is a handsome perch! I found the BP very easy to fit. Didn't even have to lift the tank. It just took a bit of super dexterity / ET fingers as the connector is on the underside, rear left corner of the tank. The difference isn't massive TBH. Sport mode is the biggest winner. I actually managed to ride in the wet and also crawl through traffic in Sport mode with much less jerkiness than before. Otherwise I think the difference is maybe about 10% in other areas. but then, I find the fuelling of the CB1000R very good anyway. My main goal was to tune out the buzziness in the midrange. Which it also has done a tiny bit. Hope that complicated answer helps!

[@motomat2]

Thanks Andy ,good to know what's involved 👍

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure. I'll probably put a little video together, once I have a clearer opinion of exactly how it's affecting things. I think i need to try with and without with the new can on for a true picture.

[@chegson2wheels686]

If I could afford to have one,I'd really struggle to avoid buying into a seat cover. As I'm presently struggling to afford the bloody fuel to go anywhere,I'll happily give this a miss Andy.

[@AndyManCam]

I can totally understand that mate. I think in different circumstances I would also struggle somewhat. Bloody cool luxury thing to have though. One day mate. 👍🏻

[@NotNowCato1254]

Ha! Great vid - creative and edited fabbly (new word). Methinks someone has had time off the bike - put to great use 👍. Now then, can't knock the quality of the finished article but that's pretty salty. The only way I'll get this past the missus is with the promise of a far nicer pillion perch. Hold my beer...

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Mike! Fabbly is now in the lexicon. 👍🏻 Good luck with the financial minister!

[@crumblymal8479]

Nice job bit on the pricey side though but it does look great : D

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Malcolm. Yeah it's at the upper end of the price spectrum. But if I know SW-Motech, it'll be the price that comes with quality.

[@chrisknight8359]

Hope that lug hole is better soon mate.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Chris. Healing nicely cheers. Shouldn't be long now. Few mods to do, and then it's ON!

The fully waterproof and stretchy membrane underneath the outer cover should take care of that! 😁
