Reply from Spencer moto seats. Amazing
Jonathan,

Thank you for your interest in my work.*

Your*Thruxton seat pan is fairly flat but does have a hump up*in the nose that only becomes an issue if you ride really close to the tank.*This hump in the nose does cause some*riders concern*with the more forward position on the Thruxton, but I pay special attention to relieve as much pressure along the frontal mid line as possible. The pan shape does allow the forming of an actual seating pocket, so that you sit more in the seat rather than on it.* This distributes your weight across the entire width of the seat rather than concentrating it in the center.* I do recommend the Supracor suspension in the LD mod for all the bench style Bonneville seats because of the flat profile. It allows for more form fitting support, reduces vibration in the seat, and dampens road shock.**The*Supracor works for the rider because it is a dynamic material with an instant rebound.* It moves with you, working with your weight shifts for proper bike control.* If you use a material in the riders section that "takes a set" it locks you in one position and fights against you.* This is the main problem with foams as the rider is constantly moving, even while cruising the highway you are making small corrections in your weight distribution. You can find more information about the material HERE.
Pricing would be the standard minimum for a single piece seat of $50 for the actual work to the riders area and*a $25 material charge for Supracor.

My process works from within the stock foam form itself, creating a new internal shape and supporting structure. The external look of the seat does not change much at all and the stock cover is reinstalled. You can find some examples on my web sites Gallery page. With modification of your Thruxton seat you will*maintain proper fit and mounting of the rear seat cowl.*Please do not send the cowl with your seat, no need to risk it being damaged in shipping.
A photo of*you in riding position is helpful and appreciated, but not an absolute necessity.*Each seat is set up specifically for the rider so any additional information you think I may need regarding your position, type of riding, any medical concerns you may have should be listed in the special instructions area on the order form.* When you think you have given me too much information, just a little more should be about right.
Please ship at your convenience, all that I ask is that you drop me note when you do so that I can properly set my schedule.* My current turnaround*even with the spring rush is*still no more than 48 hours so your only real downtime will be in shipping.* If you visit my web site you can find the order form as well as*my FAQ page which contains more information regarding shipping, payment, and a bunch (probably too much) general information. Contact me any time if you have questions.
Thanks again and have a great weekend, Spencer

Hi Spencer. I have a new thruxton and my saddle and I are not getting along. Can you help?* I'm 5'8" 175. I want the cowl to stay on and the possibility of taking a passenger.* I hear you work magic.* Let me know!
