I love to see the American craftsmanship for both motorcycles & textiles. The pride in your work comes through, thank you for sharing the video.

[@frauleinjosefine6000]

This is a beautiful handmade seat, I love the time, thought and precision as well as the finishing touches, really great work! 😍❤️👌

[@vikramshetty001]

Wonderfully described craftsmanship.. it was like a movie.. thanks for your time in explaining the process in detail.. worth watching content ❤❤❤

[@tellmesomething2go]

Twenty-two minutes goes by real fast, when your watching something nice. THUMBS!

[@CosmicCraig]

I watched this inn prep to make something like this for a bicycle. I can see my original design needs to be taken up a notch. I'm inspired by your attention to detail. Every damn step and material, Grade A

[@PavanKumar-bx9pg]

Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video , now i know that Café Racer bikes seats are also a work of art.

[@johnk6837]

Someone posted about these seats in a group I’m in and I couldn’t be happier. Future customer here, pretty stoked!

[@drizzetsrevenge]

SO HAPPY That I bought a Tuffside seat. I was completely unsure what seat I wanted to use on my cafe build, I spent a year searching before I even started the build. The Tuffside cafe seat I bought is perfect in every single way. Note to anyone reading this, DO NOT waste your money buying a universal frame hoop anywhere else, the shape of the Tuffside seat is unique, buy their hoop and save yourself the time/money searching elsewhere.

[@westporter1]

Beyond impressive craftsmanship. This is artwork.

[@FunWithAJ]

This guy is a talented artist. Seriously great to see people do quality work not because it's harder but because it's the right thing to do.

[@Kerosenetrewthe]

I've ordered a couple seats and Tuffside's quality and service is top notch. Gotta order another one soon!

[@johnnymcquinn6025]

Amazing craftsmanship! You do everything on a higher level, top in the industry.

[@TheIndianWorkshop]

🥰 from india love your work...

[@rover100bunson]

gorgeous, you can see the work involved in making it

[@justin_pruitt]

Very impressive. After seeing the quality of my flat seat that I ordered last year, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else! I can’t wait to see the upswept models you guys are starting to do for my next build!

[@lvwrx]

i absolutely appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication to your seats, shows that you truly care about your products and customers, shopping on your site now!!

[@Cyromantik]

Super cool walkthrough, appreciated the play by play for each step, humor and fine background music. I think seeing this made by your shop certainly makes me want to buy from you more than attempt to make my own!

[@alstone5257]

Perfect, I will need one i can paint for a 1981 Suzuki GS550 in the near future. again great looking seat and cowl. Nice work.

[@ethan073]

I've had a hard time finding the right seat maker until I saw this video. I'll be contacting you soon for one of these seats without the flair up in the back, since my subframe is flat all the way across. Very excited about this!!!

[@nesterkyn]

Always willing to pay more for something made one by one like this 👍

[@cycoklr]

Wow.! Seeing the whole process highlights the quality work that goes behind these seats.

[@ZahnarztDrSchurke]

Chris you are super motivating to me starting my own business. Hats off, to what you’ve accomplished

[@sherlockholmes60]

All I can say is great work. I'm still not sure how you're only charging $400 for the sportster Cafe seat but it's worth every cent. Thanks for sharing.

[@controversialrebel5639]

Amazing craftsmanship, very impressive.

[@huythai1404]

[@jonthepiano]

great looking seat. why not stick the fibreglass foam mould in the plastic former and make a plastic one so you don’t have to worry about the foam sticking when casting ?

[@zoebettina]

Great video and beautiful seats. Question, I know you said don't ask what kind of foam it is, but can you tell me where to look for something similar?

[@cwongth1]

A perfect but still original hand - craft / Thanks

[@jontiffinphoto]

Found you thru Classic Octane - Austin, Texas!

[@jakewood308]

Beautiful job!

[@AnhNguyen-xg2fd]

Hey Chris, thank you for the video. I tried making an ordinary seat for a school assignment following your instructions - everything went great! Only one small problem came up with the molding phase: when the plastic formed down the mold, some parts of it did not fit closely onto the foot of the mold, but instead got bubbled. I checked the air-sucking force of the vacuum and the pliability of the plastic -- they were fine. Do you have any ideas of where the problems might be, or how to fix it? It would be great if I could make the seat look nicer before submission. Thank you for your help!

[@tuffsideseats]

Drill small holes in the mold - in and around and areas that may trap air.

[@AnhNguyen-xg2fd]

@@tuffsideseats thank you Chris! I will try

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Very cool brother, love this video and love your seats I'm going to email you right now.

[@thebookloversretreat5016]

And I am really overwhelmed to see your hard work with quite peacefully and sincerely my dear brother and I am really impressed. Hello dear sir I am from India 🇮🇳 my beloved country and I wanted to know that do you send seats to our country as well as I own a brand new interceptor 650 twin and I wanted to buy a solid classic seat for my beloved classic retro twin bike.

[@lorenbush8876]

That's nice. Did you build your own vacuforming setup and molds?

[@tuffsideseats]

Yes i did, many years ago. There is a video on my page somewhere building the first machine. Since then i have upgraded to a commercial machine (but i still have the original machine also)
