We now manufacture custom BMS seat pans for BMW Water Cooled R1200GS. The new GS is an amazing bike with a terrible seat. Demand has been so high for custom seats we have custom molded our seat pans allowing you to purchase a custom BMW GS seat and seat pan combo. You keep your OEM seat. This has required a lot of R&D, testing and investment. Companies that manufacture aftermarket seat pans often have fit issues. We have perfected the BMS seat pan for the BMW Water Cooled R1200GS. Other seat pans are currently in the works.

To build your custom BMS seat we require your seat pan. This enables us to ensure that there will be NO problems on your re-installation of your seat. This is an issue that some companies have because their seat pans sometimes just don’t sit flush, some do it yourself rigging may be required to less than perfect fit. This does mean that you will be without your seat for the duration of the shipping each way as well as the time required to customize your seat. Is it worth the wait? See for yourself – browse the testimonials here and read the reviews. According to our feedback, you bet! Yes it’s worth the wait!

Things to ask other companies before buying a custom motorcycle seat:

• Do you have a variety of foam densities? How many and how do they compare to my OEM seat foam?
• How do you fashion my foam. Is it all one piece?
• If I don’t provide my pan and your pan doesn’t fit my bike well, then what?
• If the seat isn’t what I expected, and doesn’t fit ME right, then what?

Building the best motorcycle seats for motorcycles is what BMS does.

Let’s back up a bit here. In order to understand why aftermarket motorcycle seats (also known as motorcycle saddles) are necessary in the first place, it helps to know how the Original Equipment from the Manufacturer (OEM) seats are designed. In general, there are two things make the OEM seat inferior to the design of the BMS motorcycle seats:

1. The foam form has insufficient density to sustain the rider for any length of time. Over a long ride, the foam compresses and at some point starts to feel as if you are riding on the pan. And THAT doesn’t make for a comfortable ride.
2. The seats are generally designed at an angle which has the rider finding that he or she keeps sliding into the tank. The resulting discomfort (and you know what I’m talking about) can make you miserable and can only be overcome by pushing yourself back from the tank. And THAT, over time, will cause unnecessary fatigue.

Now, these situations vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and rider to rider. But if you are experiencing any of the above, we at BMS can help you.

The team at Bill Mayer Saddles believes in building the Best Motorcycle Seats for each of our customers. Now you may ask, “how can you build me a seat that suits my riding needs?”. There are a number of factors that BMS uses to determine the best motorcycle seat design for you:

BMS requires photographs of you and your bike in order to get a better visual feel for how to fabricate the new seat to your exact specifications.

BMS can build a motorcycle seat for almost any kind of motorcycle or scooter. BMS will install new or retain existing heating filaments for your seat as you desire.
