Why Wooden Beads?
Until they try a seat made of wooden beads, most people do not believe they can be comfortable. Well we can tell you, from our own personal experience and that of our satisfied customers, they do work. BeadRiders allow air to flow between the rider and the saddle, keeping you dryer and cooler. If you really want proof of the airflow, just use a set of BeadRiders on a cool day, and it won’t take long to convince you that cold air is flowing beneath you.
Beaded seats also allow for the dispersion of your pressure points over a larger area. A customer relayed an interesting story to the manufacturer. He had purchased a set of BeadRiders at Americade this year.
He then went to another vendor who was selling an expensive seat pad. This vendor had set an electronic seat pad connected to a computer to measure the pressure points in the saddle with and without his seat pad. The vendor allowed our customer to compare our set of BeadRiders to the pad he was selling. Well the customer found his BeadRider seat, as measured by the computer, was much better at reducing pressure points than the much more expensive ($150.00) seat pad.
Finally, we also found that the comfort level while riding in the rain is helped by a set of BeadRiders. The seat allows you to stay high and dry, while water drains through the seat below you, instead of pooling underneath you.
How do they stay on?
They have an elastic cord that has an adjustable cinch. The cord goes under the edge of the seat.
What colors are available?
Any color you want as long as its black.
History
The only way to make these right, was to start from scratch and hand sew
each seat to fit a specific saddle. They also decided to reinforce the weave to
help the seat withstand the wear of motorcycle riding. The seat also had to be
able to withstand constant exposure to inclement weather. The system over time; has changed and been perfected, and the result is a strong, tough set of beads that will hold up to the rigors of motorcycle riding and will fit your saddle.
1,000 mile days have comfortably been logged on BeadRider seats and we hope they will make your ride longer and cooler.
Classic BeadRider Seat:
The Classic BeadRider (CBR) is our original beaded seat specifically designed for motorcycles. The wooden beads provide the movement and airflow that allows riders to stay comfortable in the saddle for mile after mile. We have sold tens of thousands of these seats to riders all around the world. The CBR is available in different sizes to fit just about any bike on the market. And as Henry Ford said, you can have any color you want, as long as you want black.
The Classic seat comes with a one year warranty from the date of purchase. If you are not happy with your set of BeadRiders for any reason, we will gladly refund your purchase price (shipping costs not included). This refund does not apply to custom sizes.
Ultimate BeadRider Seat:
The Ultimate BeadRider (UBR) is the best beaded seat available on the market today. Nearly a year ago, we began testing different materials as an option to our wooden beads, to improve the quality and durability of our seats. The UBR is constructed with reinforced ceramic composite beads that are designed to keep you cooler, drier and more comfortable in even the harshest conditions. During months of torture testing by some very serious riders, the UBR withstood everything we threw at it and looks and feels new to this day. The UBR seat is made to last years, whether you ride 1,000 miles a year, or 100,000 miles a year.
The UBR comes with a full two year warranty which covers everything, including the finish on the beads. If you are not happy with your set of BeadRiders for any reason, we will gladly refund your purchase price (shipping costs not included). This refund does not apply to custom sizes.

What Size Of Wooden Bead Seat Do I Need?
Almost all motorcycle
seats follow a general pattern. The seats are wider in the rear and
narrow toward the front. Many bikes accept the same shape and size of
seat that we currently have in stock. (See recommendations). However,
should you want a custom shape we will need the specific measurements.
When measuring your
seat, please keep in mind that the wooden beads should never contact any
area of the bike, other than the seat. This could cause damage to your
paint or mar the appearance of your bike. In other words, DO NOT
OVERMEASURE. You should not include the sides or back rest of your seat
in any measurement, only the top part, and only that part of your seat
where you normally contact the saddle.
