    You will need more than a recover my friend. The seat will need some of that blue cushion material first like you saw on my seat…plus the new cover. You should be able to find a local guy near you right? Well, Ed ships his product all over the world so he can probably help. I actually know a guy that’s selling a stock two-up seat for a Springfield he in town, you could send that to him and that way you won’t be without a seat. Just a thought.

    It’s not about tech, it’s about having a vision for what the end product could be and then investing the time to make it better. I watch every video 5-6-10-20 times after each edit. Yes, each edit. I go over and over and over and ask myself, how can I make this better. And when I’m done, I save it and look at it a day later and say what can I do now? Even this video. I watched it last week and groaned and said “shit, how could I let that get out!?” LOL. Always something to improve on. I spend roughy an hour and a half per minute of video on the editing process

LOL, oh, what is that gold covers under your seat and over the area of the battery you have on there? So there's not gel? I would need them to cut mine on the sides since my 29" inseam can make it hard to be completely flat footed on my RM.

    I do not have a scientific reply for you but I will tell you that one of these bikes sat in the rain for about two hours and I simply dried off the seat and rode home when the rain stopped. The seat did not absorb water or feel mushy or soaked or wet below the leather in anyway. It kind of goes against common sense when you’re poking 10,000 holes in the seat but it held up well.
