Custom Seat Height Modifications
One of the most frequently requested services in our workshop isn’t flashy custom designs or classic restorations, it’s something much more practical, motorbike seat height modification.
The Secret to the Perfect Ride
Bikers come in all shapes and sizes, but unfortunately, most motorbikes are built to fit a “standard” height that doesn’t suit everyone. Whether you’re “Vertically challenged” and struggling to get both feet flat on the ground at a stop, or you’re feeling cramped and want a bit more legroom on long rides, modifying your seat height can completely transform your riding experience.
The seat featured is a BSA motorbike, we removed the seat cover, reshaped the foam to reduce the height and refit the original cover. The whole process took about 2 hours.
Why Modify Your Seat Height?
1. Better Control at Stops
Being able to confidently place one or both feet on the ground while stopped is crucial, especially for new riders or those who frequently navigate through city traffic. Lowering the seat can provide a much-needed confidence boost and improve safety.

For taller riders, factory seat heights can feel cramped, causing knee strain and discomfort over time. Raising the seat slightly or reshaping it to provide more leg extension can make a huge difference on longer trips.
