Foam mat/ block for benches:
Universally usable special foam in saddler quality, ideal for motorcycle seat construction.
The foam specially designed for use as a seat core has a high density (140 kg/m³),
so that it is not pushed through even with a relatively small thickness. It can be used with an electric bread / roast knife
Cut and shape with a belt grinder or an angle grinder with a flap disc and glue with power glue, for example.
Comfort foam sheet:
For touring motorcycles, we recommend using one layer of this sheet as an additional upper seat foam layer
to significantly increase long-term driving comfort.
Can be easily glued with power glue.
Black faux leather:
For benches in the very best saddlery quality
Universally usable imitation leather, ideal for motorcycle seat construction.
This artificial/vinyl leather comes from the saddler, it is specially made for motorcycle seats, is UV-stable and waterproof.
The surface structure is slightly grained like leather, on the back it has a textile structure.
Also included in the scope of delivery is a foam lamination to level the surface.
TIP: Before covering the motorcycle seat, heat the imitation leather, for example with a hair dryer, then it can be stretched, pulled and processed better.
Of course, you can also have the seat upholstered by a saddler.
The thickness of the seat can be increased if, for example, the following optional accessories are ordered:
Article number SB-S2 : 2 cm thick composite foam board, can be additionally glued using a power adhesive (e.g. Pattex).
be glued on (holds bombproof).
Or silicone cushions for a significant increase in comfort on long journeys:
Article numbers SB - GEL (10 mm thick), SB - GE2 (20 mm thick).
Have fun crafting!
