You are very lucky that you have an answer, I have been trying to contact him for a month and no answer from him.
Welcome to the forum.
Good luck with your seat upgrade.
Thnx. Thought of surgery to stretch my legs a little but the seat customization may be the cheaper option
This highlights one problem with the web. Once you post a service, or your contact info, it persists for ages after you have moved on, died off, or whatever. Look at motorcyclelarry's situation. I'm not talking about shortly after he died, but after his family abandoned the company and even closed the store, the website was alive. Yes, a conscientious person could close his site, but how about all the links and posts on multiple forums - even in other countries? Seventeen years from now there will be more garbage on the web than there is in space orbiting our planet.
I had mine done by Spencer. Love it and it still looks like original. The one in the photo is what was on the bike when I bought it. A couple miles on it and I went to the dealer and bought the stock seat from him for $50 then sold the custom seat online for $200.
Do you know if that included the st1300 ??
Spencer did my1300 seat about 4 months ago. Did a great job and turned it around in a week. NO problems with contacting him....
Thanks a lot.

Seems odd that he would turn down work on ST1100's as he did them for a number of years. He must have plenty of work coming in for the newer bike seats he currently works on...
I would like to get my st1300 done. I've called a number of times. Left a voicemail. Emailed. Still no reply.
Everybody run his business the way the like it, but it will be more professional to return emails, ph, etc. even if you are not interested in this work in particular.
An excellent seat but much more expensive.
Whom would you suggest for an 1100 seat rebuild?
Laam has been around for a while, and the quality of his seats is good. But if I were going to spend that much on a seat rework, I would go with Russell, with is the best seat around. https://day-long.com/
This seems to be a thing with one-man or small crew shops. Having more work than you can handle means having the ability to work at your own pace and the way you want.GoTime said:
Unfortunately this also means that some vendors get a huge head and let you know you're at their mercy. This happened with an excellent local gunsmith. It's not how I like to do business but sometimes it happens. I don't know that this is the case with Laam though.
I'd probably have had a Laam seat by now if the contact situation was other than what's been reported. Spencer might be an option for me but reported results seem to be hit or miss. Russell is out of the question.
If you haven't gotten a seat I highly recommend a Saddlemen Gel seat. I've had mine since 2002. It still looks and feels great. I have them on all my bikes.
