It's not the best quality but it works

The padding is thin and the stitching is questionable but looks good enough. I had to make some changes to the brackets, but it works.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good place delivery was terrible.

This is a decent seat for the money, great product. However, I'm giving it 3 stars because of the shipping. It took me 2 months to receive it. I would buy elsewhere.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Crumpled

Fairly good fit. on body and frame parts

Great look and fit. The mounts are great and the base plastic is pretty solid. Not the thickest seat padding, so not the best option for long trips, but it's a cafe spot. The equipment is excellent.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Zero

This product is garbage.

The seat doesn't even come close to a 1974 Honda CB360. It took hours to get it working, but it still didn't fit the contours of the frame. I was supposed to make my own but I made the mistake of buying this junk so I'm sticking with it.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Incredibly comfortable

Fantastically comfortable and durable, it's just a few inches smaller than practical for two riders, especially if you're not tank-hugging, but it serves the purpose perfectly if you're looking for a great value and impactful change to the Cafe Racer aesthetic.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Secret

Great fit on the seats and bars

I love the look of the old bench seats and I'm quite tall so it's nice to be able to kick back and have some extra space. The mounting kit did not fit my old Honda Rebel well. ended up warping and had to drill a new hole in the rear fender and there was a gap under the seat but it's not scary.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Good price for hard shell seat

Great seat for the money! The seat got to me in just a few days and was easy to make. Of course I had to remodel my bike a bit to accommodate the cafe style seat but it was worth it. I am attaching a picture of a seat mounted on a dirt bike from a 1975 Yamaha Dt175.

Pros
  • Hard wearing, waterproof and flexible high quality synthetic leather.
Cons
  • Good but not great

Excellent saddle/seat for experimentation

The firmware isn't perfect, but there's no denying that as it's a regular flat saddle/seat for less than $50. If you need a flat seat to experiment with on your motorcycle, this is a great place to start. Plus, you'll get it in days, not weeks. There is a pillow but not big. The seat is long enough for a rider unless you "share" the seat. You can't be the price of this product's performance.

Pros
  • Features: This is a universal seat. The seat may require a modification to the motorcycle frame.
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Excellent - about 30 minutes!

Get about $1 a minute of comfort with this seat. I'm not trying to blame this chair - it did exactly what it had to do. I bought a second bike that rotted behind someone's apartment for a few years and then rotted in my backyard for a few more years. When the pandemic hit, I needed a project. Get on the bike. Need a chair. You say Revain Special for $30? What can go wrong? Well, for starters, my colon gets pounded on Highway 5 from North Los Angeles County to San Diego. Thank the gods I have to

Pros
  • Includes three removable metal brackets and six nuts and bolts.
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
