When I was a Harley rider I had many seats re worked. I use to send them off and have memory foam or gel put in them. It made a world of difference on those long rides. Now that I am riding a new RT, I find myself riding longer and longer. Does anyone know of a company that you can send your seat too and have it re worked. The company I have used for years will not touch a BMW seat, go figure.

What's your location?
In the US there are dozens of custom seat builders, Russell and bill Meyers are the two I am familiar with, both do quality work

I have heard of Russell but I thought they only sell new seats. I would like my stock seat re worked with gel or memory foam. That way I can keep my same height. I am in Louisiana.

You can send your seat to BMS
Bill Meyers with prior arragments turn around time is short, not sure about Russell
Suprised no one in your area will work on Bmw seat, maybe afraid of heating element
I watched them build my last seat, element peeled right off
No issues reinstalling on new seat. Custom seat is a major improvement over Bmw plank

Custom seat? How about some recommendations and specifics.
