Surprising Seat Pictures and a Question

I could not take my seat any more. I ordered some gel to insert in my seat, and when I took off the cover these pics show what I found. Interestingly there was no typical foam as I have seen before, just a rubbery base and it's covered by what looks like 1/8" sofa foam. Does anyone know who manufactured this or what it is... OEM, a specific manufacturer, or even the work of a furniture shop?

That seat has been hacked by someone, that is not OEM foam.

I have seen some of the other picture here online, and mine does not look like anything I have seen.

You need to buy a used seat from the for sale section and send it to Spencer. You'll love it. Best bang for your buck. I love mine.:tb1:

I sent Frank and Email about the specialization. Will I need a new seat, or can he use my plastic base.

Could that black material be Supracor LD that Frank at Spencer uses? Just wondering.

I ordered a stock seat off of Ebay Friday. It came today, Monday. It looked much better than mine ever did, and I could easily tell it was stock. It looked brand new, but still was not that comfortable. Anyway I already sent it off to Frank for the Spencer treatment. We'll see how it goes.

No that is definitely not Supracor. I have been using Supracor for years and it is a honeycomb polyeurethane material - opaque. It is by far the best material available for a seat in my opinion. I do not like gel at all as it insulates too much and can be very very hot to sit on. Supracor being mostly air allows heat to transfer and also molds and supports and does not create pressure points. I use a small piece of supracor under my sheep skin pad and it works wonderfully on my KLR650 seat. I have a Russell seat on my St that needs no pad for all day comfort.

Update on the Seat. Bought a like new seat on Ebay and sent it off to Frank at Spencer. I just got it back today and it seems wonderful. I have a 29 inseam and and both feet are flat on the ground. Also the cutting and new material feels real good as well. I can't wait to try it out. I have about 220 in it if you are wondering. Spencer was about 90. I was using a Corbin seat while it was worked on, and I hated that more than the old one with rubber crap in it.
