Got my seat back from badx and it looks awsome. Haven't had a chance to ride yet. Had him do the extreme mod on the front and rear seat, and put the chrome studs in the front, rear, and the backrest. Measured the studs on my hondaline bags and had him match the seats to them. Here take a look for yourself. Thanks again badx. :D :D









Pics kinda suck, but it was in the garage with a flash.

Bad-X does really nice work. I may have to send mine back again, now that he's doing all the custom work.

Looks great on the bike, When I first started offering the studs I didn't really like doing it but for some reason studding the seats have become a one of my favorite mods to do. I don't know why really, it takes allot of time measuring and marking off where each stud goes but it is enjoyable.
The next new service is going to be custom fitted covers. If the owner chooses to do so I am going to be making them a custom fitted cover to their modded seat. This really gets time consuming because I have found that rarely any two seats are alike since I shape them to each owners request. Custom embossing, flames, tribal designs and pretty much what ever the customer wants will be getting put on the seat. I also have a local lady who will embroider a design on the seat also. Pretty cool stuff. I will be offering leather, marine grade vinyl's and exotic leathers.

I love the studs, It looks a lot more custom with them in there. Another job that looks outstanding. Very, Very nice work!!! GG :D

Guys, I took my BadX modded seat out yesterday for it's first road test (only a little over 40 miles since it was pretty cold late yesterday). All I can say is that it is 100% improved. My tailbone would usually hurt after about the first 20 miles or so; came home yesterday and when I stepped off the bike it felt like I hadn't even been riding at all. I had the memory foam added in on my seat and the passenger pillion. He modded my seats while I was there...BadX is an absolutely great guy and does excellent work. He takes a lot of pride in his work and is a real perfectionist.

All I can say is, if you have a stock seat, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? This is the best deal you're going to find for the $$$.

Bad-X currently has my seat and I cannot wait to get it back. I want everyone know how easy her was to work with. The communications were fantastic. I must have emailed him 10 times with different questions and he always was professional and got back to me in a timely manner with all the answers to my many questions.

Thanks Bad-X, I cannot wait until my new seat arrives.

Been waiting to hear what you had to say about this.

Sure man. All I need to know is the color you want, if you can send something to match it would be best and I have started doing custom covers. It just takes a little longer to do right now. The turn around is about a week on custom covers due to the extra work involved but I hope to get it down to 2-3 days like the other mods. Send me a PM or email [email protected] and we can discuss it.

Got my seat back yesterday from Bad-X. I had the seat modified with the memory foam. I installed the modified seat last night and I LOVE IT. The weather here is low single digits with wind chills in the negative so I did not get the pleasure of riding it, but I sat on it for a while and the seat seemed to mold to me.

THANKS BAD - YOU ROCK!!!!

BadX,

Thanks for the reply. Will do. Working on some ideas at the moment but will definitely get back to you. Looking at some of the other seats I've seen, and actually photoshopping on the bike to see what different looks effect the overall image of the bike. Once I get the idea down, I'll forward on to you.

Much appreciated.

No problem man and the email has been replied to. Sweet looking seat also, even with it being photoshopped on there.
