Tourtecs seat modification: frequently asked questions
Comfort is the be-all and end-all when riding a motorbike. Many bikers love to cruise on their motorbike for hours and don't want to be slowed down by pain or numbness. This makes the right seating comfort all the more important. However, since motorcycle manufacturers have to build their seats for the masses, it may not be perfect for you. Too high, too low or not sufficiently padded are just a few factors that can lead to pressure points and numbness. To make your seat as individual as you are, the Tourtecs brand offers you a variety of options to increase your seating comfort. In addition to motorcycle seat cushions, these include complete seat benches and solo saddles, as well as a seat bench conversion.
Many motorcyclists are attached to their original seat. No wonder, because they are a decisive factor in the look. However, many original seats are not exactly comfortable and cause numbness and pain for one or the other biker. The Tourtecs brand offers you the option of a seat conversion, which is the optimal way to get maximum comfort out of your original seat.
What can I do to modify my motorbike seat?
With Tourtecs seat conversions, you can upgrade the comfort and design of your original seat. In addition to the typical padding and upholstery, we offer you the option of equipping your seat with a gel insert. This ensures an even distribution of body weight on the seat, thus preventing pressure points and absorbing vibrations and shocks. Alternatively, you have the option of having the lumbar support padded on one-piece benches. You can also customise your bench seat with Tourtecs' seat bench conversion. In addition to reupholstering your bench seat, you can choose the colour of the piping and the stitching. We also offer you the option of choosing an embroidery for your seat.
Frequently asked questions from our customers:
Can I have my two-part bench seat converted?
Yes, you can have your two-part motorbike seat bench converted. We will be happy to install a gel insert and reupholster your two-part seat bench.

Here is an example of this:
Is it also possible to convert an existing seat heater?
No, unfortunately a conversion with existing seat heating is not possible. We also do not offer the installation of new seat heating.
How long does a bench conversion take?
As soon as we receive your bench, the processing takes about 21 days (Mon-Fri). We will then send you the finished bench, so please also note the delivery time of the respective shipping provider.
Do I have to send in my old seat?
This is a seat conversion, so you have to send in your old seat.
Is it possible to have personalised embroidery or logos?
You can choose a lettering. This will then be embroidered onto your seat by machine.
Can the seat be adjusted in height?
Yes, you can also choose to have your seat padded or reupholstered in our shop. Depending on the model, the height will change by 2-3 centimetres. However, this is only possible with one-piece benches.
Can I change the shape of my bench seat?
No, unfortunately that is not possible. The basic shape of the bench seat will not be changed (except for conversions inv
Are there any non-slip materials or anti-slip coatings?

Is there special padding for more comfort?
With a bench conversion, you have the option of having a gel cushion incorporated into your seat. This ensures that your weight is distributed more evenly over the seat and thus increases your seating comfort. Alternatively, you can choose to have the lumbar support on one-piece benches padded.
Can I convert my seat myself?
Of course you can convert your seat on your own. In our online shop, you will find all the important materials for converting a seat in the ‘DIY seat bench accessories’ category. Please note that a seat conversion can also go wrong. So only apply the material slowly.
