We sit on them, we sweat on them, and unless they are uncomfortable we often don't even think about them. If you cruise around the Harley-Davidson.com website, you may have seen a small window floating around near the bottom of the page marketing custom stitched H-D seats. I recently decided to follow this link to find out what all the buzz is about. I discovered that H-D has made it possible to build your own custom seat! Using a variety of selection tab windows and options, you are able to create your dream seat and use a great emulator to preview the finished product. Follow along as I build a custom seat for a new bike.
Here we have Harley-Davidson's Custom Seat Program main dash board. This is where we will "Turn a seat into a statement.” Simply begin by choosing the year and model of the H-D that you are building the seat for and be sure to select either a solo or a two-up seat. Then, select the customize this seat icon. Throughout this process you will find that H-D dedicated a lot of time to building this program through its’ stimulating imagery and user friendly structure. This is a fun process that can be reworked again and again until you have found the right layout and stitch color for your bike.
On the next page we are brought to a really cool seat builder with a very realistic preview of our seat. Under the customize tab we are given 4 pages of designs to choose from. I decided to go with the Harley-Davidson Number One Skull image with orange stitching for my seat. We can also see that I am building this two-up seat for a 2012 Road King - FLHR and we are also presented with the MSRP price. Play around with the different designs and stitch colors in this window to see what fits your style and your bike best. Some designs will allow for a variety of die colors for your inlay pieces and may even provide you with a different choice of materials such as Ostrich or Alligator. Once you have your design and color nailed down we are ready to continue on with the process.
The next step in the builder process is to click on the tab, "Take it to your dealer". It is here that you will be given the option to print your custom seat details or create a link for your personal seat. Either of these options allow you to come down to Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson and have us order your new custom seat. With this great option, Harley-Davidson has taken a lot of the time out of searching for your a perfect, custom stitched seat. With over 10 different designs available, there is something for everyone and a price that is comprable to any new seat on the market. To get started building your new seat click
