Bitchin Seat!

We often get on these forums and slam the “bad and the ugly” but, it seems like we get writers block when it comes to writing about the “good”. I don’t just give out props but, I wanted to post that I’m very happy with my Bitchin Seat from Rich and the Gang at the Bitchin Seat Company.

I debuted my seat at this year’s Sturgis Rally. We logged nearly 1700 miles of rides and it was not only very comfortable but it looked sweet too (got a lot of compliments).

I first read about Bitchin Custom Seats for the V-Rod in Hot Bike and then read more honorable mentions in American Iron Magazine. To say that I couldn’t be happier with my seat would be an understatement! Good Service and Quality Products can be hard to find and I’m very pleased with the customer service and personal attention that went into making this seat for my bike. Rich; if you’re out there thanks!

Ride Safe,

I don't know about absofucckin'beautiful.
But it does look pretty sweet, a little to pricey for me though.

Thanks for the props on the seat. It was around 12 billz but, I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. A custom seat was built for my booty and I called the shots on the type of foam to the leather, and stitch. They actually had to make a custom seat pan because the mock up one for the stock fender wasn't matching up with my custom fender (they didn't charge me any extra). Good Dudes!

1200.00 can do alot for my bike. The seat is nice but I am sure it is NOT WAAAAAAAY better than seats half the price! Good looking seat nonetheless.

To each his own the seat looks great and if it's comfortable then its one of the better ones, cause most suck for comfort.

Thanks! 12 was abit of cash but, I didn't get a cookie cutter seat. I've priced a few of the brand x for less and really didn't like what I've seen on the forum or in person with regards to fit, finish, or gapping. I got the perfect density foam for my weight and riding style, I altered my riding position to a place that I like even more than stock. I payed alittle more but I got a one of a kind.

I spent alot of time looking at the seat on line before I pulled the trigger too. Bottom line was I've had to do a lot of projects on bikes and cars I've owned over the years 2 or 3 times because I wasn't happy with the quality. I figured I'de take a chance and get it right the first time and save myself the frustration.

If your thinking about this seat you won't be disapointed with the product, service, Look, or comfort.

Good Luck,

HOLY crap, $1200. Well if you are happy with it that's the important part. It looks like all the other aftermarket one piece seats, ie: ghostrider and CFR seats. Very nice looking on your bike, congratz.
