i have a XR650L and it has a seat height of 37 inches, tall for my short legs so i tried to cut some foam out of the seat, it did not work out too well, so i had to buy a new seat for a little over $200 dollars. oh well, at least i tried.
That is exactly …
That is exactly right. This wasn’t a planned shoot, and I had never been to Rich’s before. I just showed up to have my seat done, and had brought a small video camera along. If I could have disconnected that thing, I would have; It drove me nuts.
When Rich watches this video, he looks towards the door every time he hears that chime. LOL!

I’m still trying to figure out how he got the chime to sound when measuring your with the pencil.
Good question. I …
Good question. I can only speculate on the answer. I think part of that fitting exercise is to get the seat angles right for where your thighs are on the seat. I did ride the bike for twenty minutes with my Aerostitch on. I noticed two small areas of discomfort, one of which Rich solved by further shaping. The other factor turned out to be the suit itself; it can bunch up in your crotch. Once I “self-adjusted,” the ride was perfectly comfortable. For a better answer, call Rich: 866.328.9774
Why do you sit on …
Why do you sit on the seat with your normal pants on? I would do that with my ‘suit’. Anyway, nice fid and hope to see some more riding!

put your helmet on! squid.
oh, and that’s an awesome bike, and nice seat!

Looks great! I spoke with Rich last week and am sending my seat off today. Thanks for taking the time to do this video — most people don’t understand what a difference a good seat will make over the lifetime of your bike. $1k for loud pipes vs. $350 for a great seat that will completely change your riding experience?
i’m frequently bouncing on the net almost all of the night as a result I possess a tendency to peruse considerably, which unfortunately isn’t normally a beneficial option as a great number of the internet websites I look at are constructed of unproductive garbage copied from some other internet sites a million times, however I’ll hand it to ya this site is indeed enjoyable and delivers a bit of genuine information, for that reason kudos for stopping the trends of just simply copying other folks’ websites, in case you ever wanna play a few hands of facebook poker with me just send me a message – you have my email address
Thats some great information there, i hope to read some more great nuggets of information from your posts in the near future.
hi i submitted a comment quite some time back regarding exactly how to speed up my twilight eclipse site’s load time given that we used the same theme at that time and somebody placed a remark answering it on my website weeks ago – if that was you I simply wanted to say hi and thanks, and if it was not you then sorry to bother you, but thanks anyways!
hey cool blog im thinking of making a blog on here as well.
