Thanks for watching.

Good point at 1:40 about the need for customization - most seats are not "plug and play" and quite a lot of people get tripped by that (especially the width of the seat).

I have an ugly original seat on my 1980 Honda cm200t Twinstar. I'm not good at manufacturing anything. I don't have the tools. Do you know what kind of seat I could buy?

The second and third seats are basically the same cheap seat with a different style foam and are to wide at the front for a lot of bikes But seriously you should stop flapping your wings and keep your eyes on the camera, it's hard to watch

Not really. The second is a cafe ever styled seat with a COWL and the third is a brat style / scrambler style seat with no cowl and room for a pillion passenger. And they’re definitely not too wide. In fact number 3 is narrower than a CX500 fuel tank where it meets the seat
