WTB Ergo Seat

KTM powerparts seats are pretty popular, or find a local upholstery guy, and get custom job. Another one of things my old mechanic told me was people will buy bicycle gel seat covers and adhesive spray the, to the foam and replace the cover. But really you could do lots of custom things from foam to cover at local shop.

Yeah, seems like every time I post a WTB thread I get 5-6 spam messages about it and this time they posted right in the thread. Probably bots…

Anyways, back on topic! I haven’t been able to locate a quality upholstery shop near me yet. I’m not sure how much cheaper that would be, if at all, compared to the Ergo seat. I’ve seen old threads of them sell for $50+ but I bet deals like that are rare. I just don’t wanna pay full price for one cuz this is my budget bike! 😁

Have you sat in powerparts seats? How much are they? Also it's a seat, it's not terribly complicated you could probably do it yourself, or mail order it yourself to know professional. if your in any sizable city you'll find car seat guy or someone. Look up some you tube vids especially cafe racer guys often build own seats, shave own foam, and just outsource cover making.
As far as cost goes, if your on bike enough to have seat bother you I'd say it's worth the investment weather or not it's your budget bike. I thought my 200 seat was too hard, but after riding it a bit I'm pretty used to it.
