My newly recovered and rebuilt factory 2011 R3R seat arrived as promised today. I couldn't wait to give it a test ride. As expected it is very comfortable and looks better than I expected it to. I am very happy with this seat. I will be doing a 300 + mile ride and I will get a better idea of how much better my new LAAM Custom seat is. The fit is perfect on the bike. The front area where it meets the tank looks better than the original.

This all started because my wife hated the pillion. Now it is wider, thicker, softer and she shouldn't have a reason to want to stop every 30 minutes.

The process was simple. I sent the seats to Seth Laam in California, he called me to do an interview on how I wanted the seat and what I was looking for. The seat was back to me in about 3 days after the interview. The price was reasonable at $625 for both the front and back and shipping. I am very pleased so far.

A long term test is needed but I took it out for about a 20 mile rip and it is very comfortable.

And those are the nice and shiny used TORs that Dr.D sent to me.

Nice looking quality seat, the backrest will come in very useful
I have had the backrest on with the factory seat, I should have sent that too so it matches. I will send it out in the winter. LAAM sent me a large sample of the material he used in case I wanted to do the back rest. I will send the sample with the backrest.
 
So I have not put a 300-mile ride on this seat yet. But, or butt, we did a 150-mile ride this weekend and I am very pleased. More importantly, my wife (pillion) was extremely pleased. The seat gave me a great position forward, and lower while riding. Very comfortable. My wife says she could do a weekend on the pillion. I think after some wearing in she will be more pleased. I took it out today for a 50-mile solo ride and I am very happy with the comfort, seating position, and the overall fit. I am recommending a Seth Laam seat at this point. For what it is worth to all.
 
BillB had a nice seat at Maggie Valley. Not pricey at 250. New pad and cover. Very, very comfortable. He found someone near him, DC I'm thinking
