Seats redux : Tiros vs K&H from samurider

[the_undecider_imp]

I have the K&H Solo which I had made for 210 lb rider. Not only is the foam firmer than the stock seat, the seat pan is stiffer and doesn't flex.

The "injection sponge" isn't anything exotic. The foam material is injected into a mold through holes in the bottom of the seat pan and then the cover is stretched over the whole assembly and stapled to the base.

I think that K&H is using a nice soft foam sheet under the seating area which adds a bit of cushion. They have to on any of the tuck and roll treatments, but I feel a bit more than the 1/4-1/2 inch foam sheet you need for a tuck and roll or pleated cover. Most motorcycle seat covers don't have the extra layer of foam attached to the underside of the cover. That's something you see more commonly on auto upholstery.
