Description
The seat is one of the most touched parts of your motorcycle, but it’s what lies underneath the foam that determines how long that comfort lasts. Metal seat bases on older Yamaha RX100s are notorious for rusting, bending, and eventually collapsing. The RX100 Fiber Raw Seat Base is the modern solution for restorers and daily riders alike, offering a lightweight, rust-proof, and high-strength alternative to the original steel pan.
Why the Fiber Seat Base is a Restorer’s Essential:
100% Rust-Proof Longevity: Unlike the original metal bases that corrode due to moisture trapped in the seat foam, this high-grade fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) base will never rust, ensuring your restoration stays solid for decades.
Precision RX100 Geometry: Molded to the exact dimensions of the classic Yamaha RX100 chassis. It features the correct “lip” and contour to follow the frame rails perfectly, ensuring no unsightly gaps between the seat and the tank.
High Structural Integrity: While lightweight, this fiber base is engineered to be rigid. it won’t “sag” or deform under the weight of a rider and pillion, maintaining the bike’s iconic straight-line silhouette.
Easy Stapling & Upholstery: The material is designed to accept heavy-duty upholstery staples easily, making it a favorite for seat makers. Whether you’re going for the “Flat Bench” look or a “Cafe Racer” tuck-and-roll, this base is the perfect canvas.
Lightweight Performance: Shaving weight off the top of the bike lowers the center of gravity. This fiber base is significantly lighter than the stock steel unit, contributing to the RX100’s famous flickability.
