When it comes to designing a motorcycle seat, there are countless ways to approach it. Whether you’re looking for style or comfort, custom builds often require a personal touch. Fortunately, there is no right or wrong way to design a motorcycle seat. You have the freedom to build whatever you want, as showcased in the build features on RideApart.

If you’re interested in learning more about cafe racers and custom motorcycles in general, check out RACER TV on YouTube. The channel has a wealth of custom content and this video provides a great overview of the process of conceptualizing, designing, and building a motorcycle seat.

As the video states, designing a motorcycle seat is not an exact science. There is no one perfect seat that will suit every bike. Custom motorcycles are unique and individual, just like the people who ride them. Beauty is subjective, and what may be perfect for one person may not be for another.

When it comes to the style of seats commonly used in custom builds, the brat style is a popular choice due to its simplicity and ability to accommodate a rear passenger. However, there are other factors to consider when it comes to the style of the seat. The subframe should be cohesive with the shape of the saddle to create a visually appealing design.

For those interested in cafe racers, RACER TV’s channel provides an in-depth analysis of the proportions of cafe racers and the proper height that the rear hump of cafe racer-style seats should achieve. The video also delves into bobber-style seats, discussing their unique characteristics.

In the video, comparisons are made between different bikes and their seats, highlighting subtle differences that can greatly impact the overall look of the seat. It’s an eight-minute video that offers valuable insights and is definitely worth watching.
