Rocky Mayer approaches custom motorcycle seat design differently from anybody else. Rocky’s philosophy is that no two butts are alike! With that in mind, he determined that different densities of foam should be available to provide appropriate comfort on a case by case basis. The determination for which density to use is subject to the specific needs of the rider. How long they ride, their ride position, the type of motorcycle, etc. etc. This is why we require a lengthy specifications form. Rocky has 5 different foam densities of seat blanks from which he chooses the “right” foam for your butt. This “Mayergonomics” resultsin the BEST MOTORCYCLE SEAT for YOU.
If you think of foam density this way – would you want a one-size-fits-all mattress firmness? Um…. NO! Why would you want to be pigeon holed into a one-size-fits-all seat that you will be spending as much time on as you spend in your bed?
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!

Let’s back up a bit here.
