Motorcycle, Powersports, and Heavy Equipment Seats

Motorcycle saddles, ATV and side-by-side seats, snowmobile and jet ski seats, golf cart seats, and seats for tractors and heavy equipment, recovered and reshaped in the shop on Mound Road.

How We Approach It

The foam matters as much as the cover.

The cover is what tears, but the foam decides how the seat rides.

Seats on machines that live outside or on a job site take sun, rain, dirt, and vibration. Foam breaks down and packs flat long before most people notice, and a new cover over tired foam will not sit any better than the old one.

So worn foam is reshaped or replaced before the new cover goes on. Foam is shaped by hand here, which means the profile can follow what you ask for: lower, flatter, or with more support where you want it.

We do not install gel inserts.

Bring in the seat.

Most of these seats come off with a few bolts. Bring the seat in, or call first with the make and model if yours does not come off easily.

Materials

Vinyl made for the weather.

Seats that live outside or on a job site get heavy-duty vinyl built for sun, water, and wear.

Color and stitching can match the original or change completely. Golf cart seats can get a heater while they are apart; see Seat Heater Installation.

Boat seats and RV seating have their own pages: Boat Seat Upholstery and RV and Camper Upholstery. Car and truck seats are on Car Seat Repair and Reupholstery.

Common Questions

Powersports and equipment seat questions, answered.

What riders and equipment owners ask most.

Can you make my motorcycle seat more comfortable?

Yes. Foam is shaped by hand, so the seat can be made lower, flatter, or more supportive where you want it. We do not install gel inserts.

Do you do tractor and heavy equipment seats?

Yes. Tractor, construction equipment, forklift, and mower seats get new foam where it has broken down and a heavy-duty cover built to take the work.

Should I bring the seat or the whole machine?

Most of these seats come off with a few bolts, so bring the seat. If yours does not come off easily, call first with the make and model.

Can you add a heater to a golf cart seat?

Yes, while the seat is apart.
