When it comes to using memory foam, especially in motorcycle seats, there's a few things to consider when having a seat built by an upholsterer.

One of the best foam explanations I've come across yet!

Awesome video, and I don't understand how it does not have more views! 👏👏👏

James knows seats. Gave me a free lesson by phone on what to use on my new Chinese ebike seat. The seats on these Chinese ebikes are like bricks. Even a seat supposedly made in Canada or the U.S. is made in China. Listen to this ebike review and you will learn something about the seat you get and what you really need. Even the glue is important. The light tack glue is important rather than what you would use to put two pieces of wood together. Glad I talked to him before I got the foam for my seat. Helpful guy. Thanks James.

Amazing.. What a great explanation, thank you! I'll be taking this info to my local upholsterer

@rickzon166 Год назад

Wow! Great information, another reason to move back to Florida. Thanks

@iandeumayne-jones1557 Год назад

Great video. Spot on instructions and guidance

Thanks for your time and a great explanation as to why my ass hurts! I have the wrong foam in my seat. Will use a laminated approach to replace existing foam. Cheers from the UK.

Most informative ive found, cause of that and since you said you're in Tampa bay ill come in and have you build me a seet. It will be a solo for my 07 heritage.

Great info for motorcycle seat building. Many thanks. 😊

@michaelmclarney1994 Год назад

Thanks for explaining the differences between the foams, i know what to look for when getting my bike seat done. Im in worcestershire uk, so will be looking for seat builders over here.

@SublimeTree Месяц назад

Thanks for the info. Great video. What density foam is used on most stock seats?

@Denali_Rebel Месяц назад

See my bike has a suspension so I’m not too concerned about shock absorption.

@jackscfc5192 Год назад

Great video! What sort of thickness do you recommend? Cheers

@PappyfromtheKeys Год назад

And what about gel as a layer? thoughts on that? I am about to get rid of a Kawasaki Z900RS because of the seat. I cannot ride it over 90 minutes to 2 hours.

@breadgarlichouse2265 4 месяца назад

so what is the best density foam and type of foam for a rigid seat on a hardtail frame?

@eminem92ha 6 месяцев назад

best info i have got after having tailbone pain due to rides. Have to find them makers here in india 👍👍

@manavsingh7378 5 месяцев назад

Me too looking in Pune. You found anyone?

@eminem92ha 5 месяцев назад

No am from chennai. Mostly they give u readymade ones and do not consider weight, etc.

@leviadams6131 4 месяца назад

Excellent video. Where can I find that type of foam? I'm assuming it's open cell, right?

@janmartens7954 Год назад

Perfect video!!! Damn you don’t live in the Netherlands!! You could do my seat if you’d please

@ledfootlou2540 Год назад

Are the rating ILD? Where can you buy the foam in the US?

@Zongshenfurshur 11 месяцев назад

that's very interesting.

@butcher6662 Год назад

Is there anything else before the number? for example RG 65 or H 65. It's very difficult to find

@alanzammit750 Год назад

Will you be making any vids of seat building

@MrLuckylarue Год назад

This was great. What does that density mean firmness or thickness?

@JamesBarnhart Год назад

Density is the firmness. How much it pushes back when applying force.

@tstockton2083 Год назад

Curious what would Japanese motorcycle seat manufacturing use 30 weight?!

@martinf9626 Месяц назад

Very interesting sir . Can you mix foam and Gel pad. If yes , can you make a video about how to do it for a 200 pound guy lol

@Rafael-fo9sp 3 месяца назад

Hey! What do you think of gel pads, do they absorb well? I was thinking of putting some in my rear seat so my pillion doesn't suffer as much as usual. Anyone got experience with this?

@acourierofourhopesandaamer8303 Месяц назад

I have a hardtail shovel and I bought a little amazon gel but pad(idgaf chopper people, sue me lol) And I can ride that with no issues for well over several hundred miles now no issues

@JBF-GST-Tanda Год назад

Memory foam for spreading stationary load (body weight) , and regular sponge for absorbing dynamic load (shocks & impulses & vibrations etc.) Is it right?

@luckyPiston 11 месяцев назад

Yup but dont forget the bike has shock absorbers too so the seat isnt doing the whole job

@rickspa8348 11 месяцев назад

Sponge is what you find at the bottom of the sea, or on the side of your bathtub 🛁

@luckyPiston 11 месяцев назад

@@rickspa8348 Yeah know that and the diff between open n closed cell foams n then its just a density game after that

@miguelpaneda1607 Год назад

i was goin buy memory foam pillow which will be used for salvage and layer it on my motorcycle seat... that explained a lot..thanks

@oldman8141 Год назад

I'm 250+ what in the blue hell is this dude talking about, he's American far more riders are 200+ people geez bro, acting like only a few people need high density foam !!!

@JamesBarnhart Год назад

The point of the information is that you only have a limited range of foam densities to work with, and memory foam does nothing to deal with energy absorption nomatter what weight is seated on the memory foam. Since a motorcycle seat is only 2-3 inches thick, you'll obviously be limited compared to what is available in automotive seats where the seat bottom foam can be 4-7 inches thick, allowing much more latitude in foam selection. I'm 220lbs and use 1 inch of #95 density, 1 inch of #55 density, and 1/2" of #30 density with a slot down the middle of the 30 for tailbone relief. If you're 250 lbs, you're going to be limited to trying 2 inches of #95 and 1 inch of 55 or 65, or some other combination of multi-density foam lamination. A full seat of memory foam is equivalent to a solid #100 + density top to bottom. The heavier you are, the less options you have for seat comfort when speaking of energy absorption. So that may explain why the information doesn't ring true for you. However, for those that are in the weight range that can be built to, using current foam technology, the results have been very positive.

Take metformin, stop eating sweets and cakes and halve the potatoes - you will loose weight as quickly as I did when I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
