[thenation]

[lawbah]

I like your seats leh Marvel.. because its abit steep, the rider like got a mini backrest like that... ok wad... haha~!!

 

Or you changing because of the positioning problem?

[chuan.z]

got $30 seats? what kind ah? Phantom original seats cost over a hundred dollars...

[thenation]

marvel, maybe you can try cutting your current seat down to size instead? I've read good things about Eugene at jalan besar, but he takes some time to do it up apparently...

[MarvelStone]

dry batt? or?

 

Not sure Should be dry cell as there was no need to pour in liquid, unless it was done inside the shop. Hehe i'm curious to find out when I open my seat again

Someone with longer arms and who pillion frequently will find the seat very very very comfy.

Thanks for the contact bro. Don't intend to change the pillow seats anymore. It is good for someone out there. Might keep for the next owner, or sell if off and exchange with someone who appreciates it. And if I do, then buying a replacement seems redundant. Hehe just exploring options. Gonna loan out to Lionel tom for a short trial

Yup original but 2nd hand lah. Intend to cut and rewrap for personal comfort! It'll be good as new. Anw, contact me if you are interested also.

Eyeing a personalize single seater for my riding comfort. At the same time, I don't know how long I'll keep the ride, so if it's good-value-for-money, I might go ahead. See how lah! I know you want those with black leather and studs.. got them already?

[SNapEl]

Lol see mr Marvel's post only immediately hog him abt it ha. I felt good for me the last time i sat on it. Hopefully it feels as good while riding.

Wah seh Marvelstone, that time we fixed my sidebox u never hinted on selling ur seats man or surely i will get it from u. In fact, i made my seats at Eugene out 2 or 3 weeks back. Cost me $100. He added width to pillion seats and also more quality cushions to both rider and pillion seats. The stuff he used is not cheap cheap ones. Btw the skin that i chose was recommended by him, it wun slip when wet which is a good thing. Ur buttocks will have an intimate bonding/riding session. I did a 2 colour tone seats. To me it was $100 well spent. Btw guys if u do think of making seats, take ur time to choose the quality, colour and style that u wanna do it up with. I was rushing so i went along with his ideas. Turns out to be not too bad but i could have done something to my liking.

 

And yes, pls give him time. 1 or 2 weeks. I expected a few days job but i guess he is swamped with work. He has seats that he can loan to u though. I felt that i didnt make a wrong decision to go to him coz my butt is thanking me. Its unlike last time when i went to a shop at Lavender and they charged me $45 for a shoddy job. Btw i have seen Marvelstone's seats. If he is seriously selling it, do think that its worthwhile to purchase from him. No need to wait at Eugenes for seats to be ready.

I find the original suspensions are still the best for phantoms. Any second opinions?

I wonder what are the feedbacks from those who uses stock s4 suspensions or those aftermarket lookalikes.

 

because he finds it too tall...

jeez I need something taller, interested in a trade? my legs still look and feel awkward to myself and other riders who ride with me.

[Jax]

anybody haf any idea how much a RK gold chain + sprocket cost?

[Finrod]

Yo jB, my bike now is using YSS brand rear suspensions. Original one kaput already. At first has some kinda metallic noise but after sometime it goes away. Must run in also i guess....lol. Btw mine looks alike the original. So far so good.

[MarvelStone]

Wah seh Marvelstone, that time we fixed my sidebox u never hinted on selling ur seats man or surely i will get it from u.

 

Haha didn't know I would consider selling back then. Good to know you claimed your given right to COMFORT with the new seats

 

Bah. I'm trying out the stock seats for now. It's hard Also, the contours tend to guide your bum towards the front tank and the posture cramps up your legs. The strain on my upper back is gone as I'm nearer to the front, but the lower back stresses up because the stock seats doesn't allow an upright posture. Not enjoying it at the moment.

[thenation]

yea, I find myself sitting very close to the tank most of the time too. but I don't find it hard, or maybe my butt provides all the cushioning I need...

[Seraph]

where did you get the YSS suspensions from?

[Finrod]

I've got ample butt plus ample cushions = comfort. Mr jB might wanna keep that in mind. (",)
