Stepped seat

[LiamMember]

Saw Magic’s seat and his comments got my interest.
Sniffed around and haven’t found a complete replacement.
Will an upholsterer(?) have necessary stuff to make one from either a new piece of foam or an add on “bump” or would I need to take the required “stuff”?

Anyone got any to recommend for near me?

What is the benefit of a stepped seat?

stops you sliding back into the slower position , gets you forward more for corners, my boys have them on their race bikes, they are great for racing not trail riding

Every bit helps in being a pest.

I have one on my 4fiddy and being a novice rider i find it keeps me in a more controlled riding position.

Any decent upholsterer (especially automotive ones) should be able to sort something out for you. KTM sell them as part of their powerparts range, have you checked if Gas Gas do one?

Diddel,
If you have enough excess trim under the seat cover, you may be able to remove the rear half of the staples, leaving the front all stapled up.Get some contact adhesive and glue on you step then air staple the rear back down.Come to think of it a gripper top might stretch up far enough too.

goodluck with it.

Mate what you say has its good points but you don’t necessarily want to be forward too far all the time, Apex of corner and out it is gold but leading in under brakes not so good, but all things granted they are a good thing that’s for sure, when I stop spending money on my boys race bikes i may throw one on mine
