Re: Seats from Thailand
Received this seat today from Thailand, took 8 days. Model Flat004 from mpmotorseat
Seat is noticeably flatter, although there is a slightly hard to sit on part which I assume is the hump (visible on the inside of the seat moulding) where they have skimmed over with minimal foam to try and keep a nice line.
Either way I can sit back where I'd prefer and being 6'2" or 187cm it is ideal and the best option I could find. Also I believe the new seat has a higher seating position therefore giving a bit more leg room if seated in the original position. Sliding back an inch or so from where I remember sitting on the old seat feels perfect. I wasn't interested in a backrest seat as it takes away from total seating space when doubling and from what I read the backrest goes soft and craps out after a while as its just foam
Cheers
Before After
Took me less that 5 minutes to unbolt old seat and install new seat

Re: Seats from Thailand
Bam! Looks and sounds like you got what you wanted. That's good news!
I took the liberty of resizing your photo's, hope you don't mind. The thread reads easier this way.
Heh! I'm looking over at your avatar and seeing an earlier model, did you keep that one too? Perhaps another family member rides that one now? Do tell![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Seats from Thailand
Looks good and I hope it works out. I know a fantastic place in the UK if you decide to do something different with your original seat

Re: Seats from Thailand
MP Motor Seats does a good job. I know that they use the same seat manufacturer in Thailand that every other site there uses, but with them you can ask for special mods and they work to see if it can be done. I love the seat I bought from them.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150
Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

Re: Seats from Thailand
Great job! Nice to see we can still get something custom done right if talking to the right people.

Re: Seats from Thailand
Is there a discount code?
Re: Seats from Thailand
Did the same thing : I ordered a Flat004 model from mpmoterseat.
I ordered the seat on November 26th; on December 2nd they sent my a picture of the finished product and shipped it. I received it here in Canada on December 21st. Extremely satisfied with the service and the product.

Re: Seats from Thailand
I am sorry to drag this post up from the past, but I recently got a Forza 300 here in Texas and I am used to the leg room on my Helix. Do you have any reccomendations on which seat gives some additional room? I also have a NSS250 that I would not mind sitting a bit farther back on. Thanks for any input, I did a google search of this site to come up with this thread, so I appologize if there is something newer or a thread with better information.
