I do a comparison of the short and tall seat for the 450MT. I also show you my 3d printed solution to the seat rubbers that fall off on both of these seats.

Yep it is really good for height and extra padding for bumps. Sounds like you could do with a set of the 3d printed pads. If you want, message me on Instagram or email your postal address and I'll send a set out for you to test.

For me the first thing was butt comfort than seat height. The taller seat is also flatter so I can move back n forward on it. With my lower seat I did find it easy to slide up to the tank end but did not check if the front rubber caps are missing. The taller seat is a bit tougher to slide towards the tank end and I have now glued the rubber mounts to the seat. I like the 3D printer idea and have been interested in getting one and using it to print various little parts that are not easy to get or replace. I have been looking at bar raisers too. Not to raise them much but to try and move them forward a bit. I have already rolled them forward/upwards like I have on my enduro bike. It seems like everything I have thought of and been looking at doing,you have already dpne them or had similar ideas. Thanks.
@outie5558 күн бұрын
Yeah it is handy having a 3d printer. I use tinkercad to make things as it's relatively easy to use. It's just a website so it's pretty basic but good enough for simple designs. I just put the bar raisers on and they are excellent.

If you don't like the colour of the tall seat then it's not a bad idea. But will probably end up costing a similar price to the seat from cfmoto if you pay someone to do it. If I had the choice I would get the cfmoto tall one as it's pretty good.

maaaate, your 'vlog' is exceptional and i for one appreciate the 'flaws' being addressed from a fellow tall man's perspective; looks like i will add another inch (25mm) to my seat foam; hopefully there's enough cover material so that i can undo it and re-use it; if not, well it wouldn't be the first time i've needed to re-cover a bike seat.... i was thinking of your solution for the seat rubbers as soon as i realised (discovered) what the seat rubbers contact with; my immediate thought was to take the seat rubbers from the base and simply add them to the frame instead but your design is much better; to add to this 'mod', if i may make a suggestion: it would be beneficial to fill the hole where the original rubbers sit in the seat and i would (will) glue your new parts to the frame; a good contact cement should do the trick; did you make sure to re-glue all the other seat base rubbers while you're at it?....again, i would (will) when i get my 450MT; hopefully by the end of this month if the dealer is to be taken on his word; Question: do you take 'custom' work requests with your 3d printer by any chance?; i have a little project i am working on that would benefit from 3D printed parts; i just need someone i can trust to do the job; i have already made prototypes that i can send to you. Cheers!
@outie5558 күн бұрын
Where the holes in the frame are, is not where the seat rubbers contact. They contact about 1.5cm towards the front of the bike, so if you do glue the seat ones in, I'd suggest glueing to the seat. The 3d printed ones fit nice and firmly and physically cannot come out when the seat is on as they are held in place by the seat as well as the lug part that goes into the hole. What is it that you're prototyping?
@markhills39228 күн бұрын
@@outie555 ah ok.....it's hard to know the exact situation re the frame/base rubber contact point without having seen it in the flesh; did you remove the front rubbers from the new seat? are you going to make your new 3D printed to sell? if so, i'd like a pair please; i am prototyping slot car parts; i small matchbox car size chassis and one scalextric size chassis so far with more to follow.

Great skills in 3D Printing Outie! Is there a groove cutout in the sheet metal to lock the parts in or have you printed it to be the thickness of the sheet metal tabs? I wonder if they can simply be rectangular in profile & have a wider groove tang (or 2) to squeeze in? The 870mm seat can be set to 850mm by using the lowest link in the rear shock arm🤔
@outie5559 күн бұрын
The metal part has a hole in them already, probably so the same part can be used in other bikes in the cfmoto range. The 3d printed pads have a lug that just pops into them for a firm fit.

Yes that should work, but a lot of people don't realise until it's too late and they have gone. Ironically having learned this when I got home with the tall seat on (dealer installed it for me during the 1000km service) I was going to do just that. But when I took the seat off they were already missing. Probably on the dealerships floor or fell out of the bike and onto the road if they were still bouncing around the battery bay.
@thebrowns53377 күн бұрын
Honda put a lot of work into placement, number and material of these (sometimes having different material/density at eaxh end etc). They test various set ups on each new bike they design. It's all down to comfort and reducing noise and vibration. I get the feeling this level of detail isn't as strong with the Chinese bikes?
@outie5557 күн бұрын
Probably not as they are 1/3 cheaper cost compared to Honda. But if it's just those two rubbers that go wrong then it's still good.

Depends what you mean. Obviously the high seat has a grey centre piece rather than the black of the stock. It also comes two different versions where the only difference is the colour of the little stripe on the side. Yellow or pink to match the bikes colour choice.
