Seat Concepts Seats

You’re very welcome. I’m trying to find the Corbin thread that mentions this but I’ve only found satisfied customers so far.
I don’t know what exact thread you refer to, but it should be noted that the forum software and server has changed a time or two over the forums roughly ten year life. I notice that some of the earlier threads can no longer be found during a search. Someone may have memory of and mention a previous thread, but I sometimes can’t locate it in searches.

Found it. Multiple members report a very tight rear seat though it may relax over time
 
In another post I mentioned I was asking Seat Concepts to raise the seat material by 1". I reached out to them via email and received a response stating they cannot adjust seats and are limited by the molds they have available. Just letting everyone know in case this was an option they were considering as well.
Listen I replaced my seat with seat concepts, I just finished a 11 hour 600 mile ride, it was awesome. My tailbone is not sore like it felt with the stock seat, thank you seat concepts, well worth the wait.
 
Glad to hear it! My experience is entirely different.
I have been watching this thread from day 1 as I know I want to change my OEM seat. Thought I'd go with Laam but he does not answer emails even though when you go to their website it states "email seems to be the fastest way to contact us". I've sent to 2 emails with no response and it has been many weeks. Makes me a bit nervous plunking down my money. I go between Corbin and Seat Concepts. SC by far the most cost effective but your experience make me hesitate. Corbin is quite expensive but look great and I like the idea of getting complete seat so I can keep my OEM. I don't ever ride with a passenger so maybe I just do the front seat and save a few dollars. But that seems like it would look weird. So, wondering what you decided to do at this point? Did you give up on the SC and go with a Corbin? If so, did you get front and rear seat?

I went with the SC front seat only, I ordered and had an upholstery shop install, and I have no complaints. The ride is so much more comfortable. Well worth the wait and money

I have a production date coming up with Laam. I had some minor issues getting my production date. Another member here mentioned to just call him. I called him and he told me to submit a form with just some generic info. I did and had to call him a couple days later and question him why he didn’t get back with a production date and resent and had my date later that night. I feel as if he is in over his head administratively and not the most tech savvy but makes a damn good seat. I want both seats done, and I’m willing to go without while I get my comfort issue sorted and feel laam will offer that personal touch and not just cookie cutter standard fare. From a money standpoint Corbin is a too much and SC is too little for me from what I’ve researched. Long story short. I didn’t make your choice any easier. I’ll be posting about my experience when I get my seat. Another word of note, the fitment and what you want on the form is irrelevant. The day of your production it seems he strips your seat and preps it somewhat and will call you day of. Based off of your conversation with him he finishes the job. You don’t owe anything until he finishes and receives payment to ship it back to you. You are responsible for getting the seat there. Anxiously awaiting my production date…best of luck.

Thank for all that info. Maybe I'll do the same and just submit my Laam order. Did you go with / plan to go with vinyl or leather? I thought I read that Seth recommends vinyl. Sounds like I can submit my order to get my spot in line and sort all that out later.
 
Planned vinyl regardless. Sending PM

That was my experience when I initiated my order with LAAM. I read on other forums that you just have to call him. I always called him towards the end of his day (4 - 5 p.m.) and he always answered my calls. He does have a 'laid-back' attitude towards business. I only got the front seat done in vinyl (per Seth's recommendation) and It was ~$500 with shipping both ways. I am very happy with my seat and now that I know how he operates, I would not hesitate to have hime do another seat for me.

Tried searching for your pictures to reference but not having best of luck mobile

How does it look with the Laam front seat and OEM rear seat. Wouldn't mind saving the money since I do not ride with a passenger. But would pay the money to make sure it looks good.

Had my Seat Concepts driver seat for a few years now. Zero need for another seat. I love it. I spent a little over 100 miles Friday night on it and another 400 miles Saturday on it.
 
As I am still searching for a new seat I reached out to Corbin, Laam, Motovis, Sargent and Seat Concepts. Corbin and Motovis usually pretty quick to respnd to all my questions. Corbis is the most expensive but looks very nice. Motovis also looks nice and is reasonably priced but comes from Romania which makes me nervous (I am in US). I do like the fact that Corbin and Motovis both have created their own fiberglass base so no need to send my seat in. I have one more local upholsterer I am going to stop by to see if they can make me a custom seat. His guess was around $750 to do front and back but that was before he saw my bike (probably the first NC750X he will see).

LAAM:
Never responds to emails even when I paced on order. Their website says to email, not call. Obviously they have mroe business then they can handle since they do not respond.

SEAT CONCEPTS:
Thank you for reaching out. Our apologies for the delay in response. We have done more research on the Honda NC models and we see that there was a slight change made for the 2021 models. We think our seat kits will still work, but we can't be sure as we do not have access to a bike. At this time, our listings will be changed to fit the 2012-2020 models. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

SARGENT:
Unfortunately we do not have a seat that fits your year. At this time I am unaware of any new seat in development for this either.
 
I have the Seat Concepts (SC) on a '20 NC750X.
I initially suffered from the forward slope issue with the OEM seat.
I was constantly pushing myself back away from the frunk every few minutes.
I couldn't ride more than 30 minutes without grimacing in discomfort over the pressure on the front of my pelvis and junk LOL.
The SC helped somewhat; it raised the front of the seat by about 0.5".
However, that didn't solve the slope problem entirely.
The SC is thicker and has more padding than the stock seat, so that felt good.
The solution for me was the mod of raising the front of the seat by about 1.5".
That mod has been talked about a lot and if you look at my post #21 in this thread, I go into full detail of how to go about getting the slope mod done via 3D printer.
Now, the combo of SC and slope mod makes the seat unnoticeable over a 2 hour ride without my having to dismount, or stand up on the pegs, or slide backward on the seat, or try to adjust my underwear and junk while riding.
So, don't expect the SC to accomplish anything miraculous; it won't do much except make the stock seat a bit more comfortable.
But try the slope mod in addition, and I think you'll be pleased.
I forgot to mention I also have the Knight Industries lowered foot pegs ( about 30 mm lower than stock).
They bring my feet more forward, lessening the knee bend, which in turn may very well help the seat slope issue.
I did rotate my handlebars slightly towards me, but didn't need risers.
The handlebar reach and height are now perfect, and I'm actually more comfortable on my NC750 than I was on my Goldwing

Which model seat did you have from SC - the comfort or the low model? Did you use your own seat pan? Did you have them add the foam and cover to your seat or did you do it yourself? Thanks.

Sorry for missing this post. I still have the SC and am considering the Corbin. The SC has broken in and become acceptable (but not great) and is better than stock despite my initial impressions. The Seth Lamm sure seems to be a great looking seat in the pics here on the forum.
 
In another post I mentioned I was asking Seat Concepts to raise the seat material by 1". I reached out to them via email and received a response stating they cannot adjust seats and are limited by the molds they have available. Just letting everyone know in case this was an option they were considering as well.
I'd expect that the Seat Concept's seat mold is a moderately expensive investment, enough that it's likely that a custom-shaped mold for a one-off seat would make that seat too expensive. But the folks at Seat Concepts will try to help out when they can ... and that help can be really valuable if a customer feels handy enough to do their own custom shaping of the seat pad.

It's really easy to reshape the foam pad. I did it (for a different bike) because I needed a lower seat, using an electric carving knife and orbital sander with a coarse pad. I even glued on a small piece of foam to increase the height at the back of the seat, for a more comfortable contour.

When I originally discussed this with SC, they proposed using a denser than normal foam mix, so I wouldn't bottom out if I shaved some material off. It was a great suggestion, worked really well, and didn't add any cost. Plus, the SC cover seemed to be able to fit the seat well even after all the mods.

So - if you want a taller SC seat, glue some extra foam on the seat pad. Too tall? Shave/sand some material off. It ain't that hard and nobody knows what fits your keister better than you! (And even if you were to screw it up on your first attempt, I'd betcha SC would be happy to sell you another pad, so there's not a huge risk here.)
 
I went with the SC front seat only, I ordered and had an upholstery shop install, and I have no complaints. The ride is so much more comfortable. Well worth the wait and money
Hi Grey,
Did you get the low seat model?
Which cover type did you choose and how well does it compare and blend in to the stock?
Thanks.
