That’s a lot of work! I left my original seat stapled and one piece Purchased a purple pad shaped with razor and placed perfect stapled luimoto seat cover and done 15 mins max ! And feels much better than gold
I bought these seat covers for the 2013 R6 and there insane. I had them put on from my buddies upholstry shop. It really makes the bike look nice. Your content is very useful.
also when laying things with tape even vinyl peel just a small section fold it where you can pull it from behind and place where you want it and peel and stick from oneside slowly working to the other keeps you from getting air bubbles or dirt and trash on the 2 sided tape works great for stickers and vinyl graffix as well
@@MizuchiGD you clearly haven’t owned one. Just spewing shit to spew. I’ve sat on both..the tappe is far more comfortable. As far as feel they’re both the same in quality. The tappe stitching is much better. Also .. Chinese ? Lmfao. It’s an Italian brand. Everyone knows Italians do it better. You have ur 💩 opinion and I have mine. I’ll stick with tappe any day of the weak and twice on Sunday.
When I saw this video about the r1 seat. It looks just like the seat on my used 2020 r1 that came with it. It's the same design with carbon texture on the side but without a gel sadly. Now I know what the brand of the seat is made.
a good sanding pad on a drill or air angle grinder works great to take down the foam just go slow and works great you can use that to feather it in nice and even and smooth as well
For those looking to order a custom seat from Luimoto, It’ll run you about 325 or so all set and done with a basic design like this one. (If you chose to go with a design not made for your bike) It’s about 190 for the seat and gel, then you basically give up a extra 120 dollars for mark up. I did it for my first bike, I loved it but you really have to be okay with getting ripped off for it to truly be a good experience
I don’t know about being ripped off. I went to Lui moto shop since I live in Vancouver. Everything is hand made and the people there are super helpful. I didn’t end up getting anything since the price was a little too steep since I just bought a brand new bike, but definitely now I’ll be buying a seat.
Definitely ordering these now for my 2015 2 sets for both set of farings getting me some paint matched with my truck and keeping the factory oem farings as well!! Fire 🔥 content my brother just got you a subscriber 💪🏽🔥
The original seat hurt my butt. I got a sattleman seat that helped. If you ever get the solo cowl, prepare to hate removing it and putting it back on. It sucks
Bet that seat bag helps if you leave your bike in the sun as well, keeps keeps it from fading and the seat will be not as hot after you take the bag off. @9milson2wheelsmatt
Am I the only one that noticied he probably could have used the remaining goldgel on the small passenger seat to improve it as well? Being so small it must be even worse.
Does the gel insert really make a big difference? I think the seat on my R1 is fairly comfortable tbh so not sure if I even would want to deal with all the extra work but that seat cover looks pretty damn great!
It won't be a plush super squishy gel like some others out there. YES, those feel ideal. however, your points of contact with that kind of gel will simply bottom out. Our Gold Gel is a bit firmer to help absorb some of the road shock and keep you comfortable longer without bottoming out.
What’s up man? Was thinking about getting the cover and gel for my s1K. I live here in Texas as well and was wondering how it felt in the heat and if the comfort level is worth it.
Our seat covers are designed to fit snug like the factory seat cover. If you lay the gel on top of the foam, then install the seat cover, the feel will be off and look strange off the bike with the seat cover awkwardly installed on top. Trust us, we've tried haha. However we are developing our gel pad as an add on if you decide cutting into your seat isn't for you.
Those lower tank leafs are going to come off / slide down if you have an R1 with plastic for the lower tank fairings. The adhesive doesn't work correctly. I tried 3 different sets of grips. If they are painted should be fine
I have a question. You’re my go to channel for R1 information and I thank you for your guidance, I’m actually about to go buy an 2020r1 and I’m starting to hear that it’s not a good buy because more then 30mins on the bike and it starts to hurt your back. Is this true? I’m only asking because i haven’t owed a bike before and really am interested in getting one but now this this new information I’m kinda worried I’ll buy to not ride it. I have done research on Yamahas and it’s only because they appeal to me more than any other make and model. So this would kind of be a bummer if true.
Nice video man actually ordered some but was wonder I have a about 1/4 round hole from when seat ripped can you just recover or do u have to fill hole with something first
Absolutely. Our seat covers are made from marine grade vinyl (used on open air marine craft etc) and Japanese synthetic suede. They are made in the wettest city in Canada. Vancouver haha. We got you covered.
It's pretty easy to dry them off with a towel after washing but they'll still be damp until they air dry. I've always just made sure not to spray them directly with water so they don't get very wet. I have however gotten them completely soaked from rain and from doing a wash and they dry out looking and feeling just like new.
Our seat covers are designed to fit snug like the factory seat cover. If you lay the gel on top of the foam, then install the seat cover, the feel will be off and look strange off the bike with the seat cover awkwardly installed on top. Trust us, we've tried haha.

@@Luimotohq thanks for the heads up! If i were to do such a thing i would trim the squared edges down where it laid flush to the best of my ability. If i do i might post a video on how i do it and show everyone how it turns out. But i will definitely be ordering a seat cover and some gel for my R1. Thank you guys for what you do!
I have a 06 R1 and I'm looking for a seat upgrade. If the foam is so thin does it need to be cut out? Would it be too bulky to just leave the seat and add the gel on top?

I don't really ride in the rain anymore. I addressed rain in my last seat cover install but the materal dries out just fine. You can also do their grip material on the tank leafs I believe, which doesn't retain water at all.
Hey, Moto, just to let you know, the Bitly link that is presumably your affiliate link to Luimoto is broken. With the Gold Gel, how much impact would that make for touring? I want to start touring on my SV650S but the stock seat is pretty firm and I have a bony ass, so they don't mix well

First
Hey your top Luimoto link doesn't work. I'm buing an RSV4 and want to hook you up with the kickback for the seats.
I ordered a key tag probably 2 years ago and still use it to this very day! Love the content keep it up
My man! Preciate ya dude
I have one from a little bit after he started selling key tags, it’s been many years now
I have one from 4 years ago and still have it on my main set.
I need to get one
That’s a lot of work!
I left my original seat stapled and one piece
Purchased a purple pad shaped with razor and placed perfect stapled luimoto seat cover and done 15 mins max !
And feels much better than gold
I bought these seat covers for the 2013 R6 and there insane. I had them put on from my buddies upholstry shop. It really makes the bike look nice. Your content is very useful.
im a simple guy, i see a motonosity video, i click.
homie right here
I absolutely love my luimoto seat cover. So happy you showed them to me. Thanks.
I would love to see before and after pictures or video with mods like this. Helps to see the overall difference they make. Love the cover though!
also when laying things with tape even vinyl peel just a small section fold it where you can pull it from behind and place where you want it and peel and stick from oneside slowly working to the other keeps you from getting air bubbles or dirt and trash on the 2 sided tape works great for stickers and vinyl graffix as well
I got a Tappezzeria Italia seat cover on my bike and I personally like it more than the Luimoto...their comfort system is super nice.
Really? Tappezzeria clearly just knock off the designs of Luimoto's styles but in a more water downed made in china look... To each their own I guess.
@@MizuchiGD you clearly haven’t owned one. Just spewing shit to spew.
I’ve sat on both..the tappe is far more comfortable. As far as feel they’re both the same in quality. The tappe stitching is much better.

Shoot wish I would’ve waited and used your link just got a custom seat with r1 embroidered right at the end of the seat I’m so excited
The tank leaves are a big nono.. Better option are the snakeskin tankgrips. Sleeker, cleaner and they actually grip really wel!
Get some lights up in there - it looks like a dungeon!
I honestly think this would look great on a any color r1 but black. Like usual, nice video, Motonosity.
Bruh quality of these is getting better every video
Love this video ... I recently hit up Luimoto about a cover for my Can Am Ryker .... would love one blacked out like this!!

The tank leafs need to go man. Not a good look
I thought the same thing but seat covers are beautiful he did his thing putting those together
Nah it looks alr with the ones actually in the tank but the lower ones not a good look
What an amazing tutorial. I just winged it for my 12 R1 lol
I think it looks very classy
Damn that looks awesome man! A really clean upgrade 🤘 A seat upgrade should be as normal as an exhaust mod 🔥
Completely agree dude.
@@motonosity How is winter going?? Im going nuts here in Denmark - we still have at least 1-2 months left where we aren't able to ride 🤯
The original seat hurt my butt. I got a sattleman seat that helped. If you ever get the solo cowl, prepare to hate removing it and putting it back on. It sucks
The tank grips ... it’s not a good look moto. I put some snake grips from TechSpec on my R1. It looks so dope.
More like motoNOSEity, my man looking part klingon.
Cool vid dude.
Clean looking bike. Glad to be back
Bet that seat bag helps if you leave your bike in the sun as well, keeps keeps it from fading and the seat will be not as hot after you take the bag off. @9milson2wheelsmatt
Bet you're right man!
Wow that’s a very nice seat
Nice job dude! I'm tempted to try this but after seeing my handy work on a dirt bike or two I know Ill screw this up.
Fly af
-Motonosity
I was thinking about getting this for my bike 🏍.
Is this Batman’s motorcycle???? 😂
Luimoto covers are beautiful, but that tank leaf is a big No for me.
Specially ugly on sportbikes.
that looked like a lot of work for a seat lol
Exactly why I went with a Saddlemen carbon seat on my R1 but, this seat does look good though!!
Am I the only one that noticied he probably could have used the remaining goldgel on the small passenger seat to improve it as well? Being so small it must be even worse.
Is that a snow bike in the background!!??
Dude.....Turn on the lights!!! Lol
Make a riding jacket or gloves out of all the seat material you’ve got from all bikes haha.
Nicely riced out now! Good job
Wow. Looks really good.
Damn you made that look easy and its not! Hey is there any reason you just didn't use spray adhesive for the plastic covering on top of the foam?
I dunno. Corbin seats are pretty legit.
Dang that seat looks so good!
I just “borrowed” a staple gun from Home Depot when I was redoing my Grom seat.
I'm sitting at K1 Speed waiting to race and i see a Motonosity video. You bet your ass i clicked it.
Hope you won
@@motonosity 3 races raced, 3 races won. Now for another 3!

@@allgasnobrakes919 I removed the lower grips and got carbon fiber lower tank pieces
Could’ve used the leftover gel on the rear seat too? Good stuff tho

Love that bike
Did i mess up when i ordered the 0.7 inch thick gel?
very cool video and process to see! maybe i should giver a go
Looks good
What kind of glue spray you use
How long will gold gel will last ?
Love my Luimoto seat! Carving the foam out was not fun though 😅
What about a Rapid bike Evo quick review?

Absolutely. Our seat covers are made from marine grade vinyl (used on open air marine craft etc) and Japanese synthetic suede. They are made in the wettest city in Canada. Vancouver haha. We got you covered.

How many miles to E does the R one get and how much does it cost to fill the tank up?
did the seat height change at all?
You should've used the excess gel for the rear seat
It's just for show lol. It'll never be used. I don't even have rear pegs on
@@motonosity well I for one would love to ride on the back into the sunset gracefully as my hair flies in the wind.
I'm a guy
For master cylinder it’s better brembo rcs 19 or accosato prs 18x19? In Greece the price are the same 300€
Why didn't you just placed the entire gel on to the seat instead rather than cutting it. ?

nice vid! what did u spray at 11:11? and y?
Where’s the grom
My man how can I get that seat cover
Looks great but I wouldn't want a motorcycle seat that I had to worry about getting wet.
To put your mind at ease. We use marine grade vinyl and premium synthetic suede. All of which can indeed get wet, Tested, tried and true!
@@Luimotohq do you have the seat covers for the 2012 model R1’s??
@@allgasnobrakes919 Yes we do! www.luimoto.com/?my=273
Why did you cut off all that foam?
Aren't the side pads gonna get soaked when it rains? I'm guessing its whatever right? since youre riding in the rain anyways.
I don't really ride in the rain anymore. I addressed rain in my last seat cover install but the materal dries out just fine. You can also do their grip material on the tank leafs I believe, which doesn't retain water at all.
Seat covers look great...👍 tank leafs look tragic 🤮
Couldn’t he do this with out taking the foam out? It would be even more confortable and he wouldn’t be ruining a perfectly good stock seat!
What were you spraying on the seat?
its an adhesive
Would love to have a seat cover for my MT-07
