Korak Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) A shout out and thumbs up to Steve Going who reupholstered and modified my OEM seat. I originally was waiting for Russell day long to schedule me, but Steve had the time and was less expensive. Seat is one inch higher, which helps my 36 inch inseam, flatter- no more sliding into the tank, wider, and so much more comfortable. I took my bike for a 30 minute ride and noticed right away that I found the solution to the horrible OEM seat. Steve is a one man outfit, will text and call you about your exact needs, plus he's a super nice guy.

Randango Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I tried the site but it states "site not found". Possibly a typo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korak Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 Sorry about the link, fixed it. Turnaround time about 1 week. Steve can do both driver and passenger seat. The Tracer driver seat cost $550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytonia Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks for the photos and link - looks great, and obviously more comfortable. I may contact Steve - looks like excellent work, certainly reasonable price. And did he stitch it to match the pillion, or did he do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytonia Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) As with many of you Tracer 9 GT owners, I found the stock seat pretty unacceptable as-is. Especially the angle. So just to see if it was the main problem, I raised the front of the stock seat, already in the higher position, by another inch or so. And it made a huge difference. Still not the plushest seat, but now I can ride it for a few hours without discomfort. Here's photos of my mod. I put the tongue at the front of the seat ON TOP OF the existing bracket (with the two slots), cutting away a little of the plastic piece in that area, and supported it in that position with two round plastic pieces I had lying around (I tend to hang on to this stuff!), secured to the existing plastic frame with superglue and screws. Very secure despite repositioning the front support. It does require some pressure down on the seat to release it with the key, and also to get it to latch. But this is a cheap (free even!) way to test out a more level riding position. Edited October 26, 2022 by claytonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korak Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 I tried the same thing you did to your seat but still had the tendency to slide forward. Steve fixed all that, no sliding forward, seat is taller for my long legs and is much more comfortable. Steve can put any color stitching that you desire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytonia Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Thanks for replying. I left Steve a message to see if he could make a seat like yours (think I included your photo), but didn't hear back. Can I ask when you ordered it? Or would he likely remember your order?

Korak Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 About 2 months ago. Steve took 10 days to build. He would remember me. I would call him. He is very good at communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
