# 3 The
next item on our Wish List is every bit as important to the look of
your bike as a new paint job would be, but much more important to the
way your bike will feel over those long trips. Very few people know  the
importance of a good seat, and Brian Snyder of Stitch
on Time, Inc. is one of those people.
Brian has
been doing custom upholstery and leather work for most of his life.
He's worked on everything from buildings to yachts and of course
motorcycles. They have combined truly beautiful custom leather and
vinyl work with medical grade memory foam to create a seat that can
win shows with it's looks and keep you in the saddle far longer than
an ordinary seat.
When I
met with Brian at their office in St. Petersburg, FL. we
sat down to talk on a couple chairs in the waiting room. " We
use a medical grade memory foam. We have tried different types of
foam, but most of them aren't the same high quality I demand," he
said. He took a large folding knife out of his back pocket  and
laid it on the seat I was to sit in and told me to just sit on top of
the knife. Within seconds I could no longer even feel that there was a
large knife under my butt! " The medical grade foam molds to
the knife and to you to take the pressure off you. No lower grade foam
would work as well. I believe in it enough that I have it on all my
furniture here, my desk chair, even chairs and stuff at home!"
And
while the feel of the seat is a main concern with Brian,
that's not to say that the motorcycle seats at Stitch on Time,
Inc. are any slouches in the looks department. Brian takes
every care to make the seat "fit" the bike. " We
have had several bikes with our seats on them win shows. The seat has
to compliment the style of the bike, the overall look and design. It
either sets everything else off, or it's not a show winner. If you're
building a bike from the ground up, you better think about the seat
first off! Where it sits and how it sits and how its shaped have to be
main considerations, not afterthoughts!"
With this attention to detail and quality, Brian and
Stitch on Time, Inc. have made a name for themselves
nationally. They have had customers the likes of legendary stunt man, Evel
Knievel. Brian is quite proud of the autographed
seat he has sitting in his show room. But he should be, he is that
good at what he does!
If you want a
way to dress up a ride that already has a killer paint scheme on it,
or you are tired of the ride your old seat is giving you, then we
can't recommend Stich on Time, Inc. enough. You will get
a seat that fits you, is more comfortable and looks fantastic.
