Doctor Glass pre-cut PRO Race Seat Foams are the easy and simple solution to padding up your race tail. Forget buying expensive pieces of foam and then cutting to shape and gluing. Our pre-cut PRO self-adhesive seat foams take all the work out of making a seat for your race tail and leave you with a good-looking, simple, and functional seat that takes only minutes to fit.

Our PRO pre-cut seat foams are all cut to the same shape which comfortably fits most makes and models, however, some minor shaping may be necessary for some models (see spec pics for exact measurements). Any holes for tail mount bolts must also be drilled in the seat foam. Fitting requires heating with a heat gun or hair dryer to the race tail and to the foam seat to activate the glue for proper adhesion. Then fix it in place with tape overnight to allow the adhesive to cure.

• More comfortable
• Swede like professional looking finish

Please note: The self-adhesive layer on our seat foams is heat-activated and may not remain sticky under excessively hot conditions. If you intend on using our seat foam on a bike that has an under-tail exhaust that causes excessive heat we advise using some heat shield on the underside of the tail, if this is not effective it is also possible to glue the seat foam on using a contact adhesive such as Bostik Contact Bond that will be less affected by the heat of the exhaust.

Please note: Our Doctor Glass PRO Seat Foams are cut and shaped to a professional ergonomic pattern (see pics). This design will fit most models, however, some models may require trimming to fit correctly. It is simpler to trim our Standard Seat Foam than it is to trim the PRO version because the PRO version has tapered edges. With that in mind, we advise careful consideration by checking the measurements of this foam against the tail you plan to fit to before purchasing, as the Standard Seat Foam may be a better option. 

Fitting Instructions:
Before fitting the foam make sure that the area that you intend to stick it to is clean and free from contaminants such as oil and grease. We do not advise fitting the seat foam to the tail until it has been painted, glue from the foam can be very hard to remove if you intend to paint at a later date. Doctor Glass Seat Foam comes with a peel-off sticky side that you can use to attach it to the tail. It is important to note that the glue on the foam must be activated with a heat gun for it to adhere correctly to the tail.
Peel away the protective paper then use a heat gun to warm the surface of the tail and the glue on the seat foam. You need to get the glue quite warm but not so hot that you burn the foam or the tail. Once you have it warm enough place the seat foam in position and get someone to help you apply pressure to the foam while you tape it in position. Place some clean rags over the seat foam first so that the tape does not mark it. Make sure the tape you use is strong enough to hold the foam firmly to the tail and allow it to cure overnight or for at least 12 hours.

If you find that for whatever reason the foam will not stick, such as around a tight radius near the edge, then you may need to use additional glue to hold it in place. Also, some bikes have under-seat mufflers that can get very hot and melt the glue on the seat foam. If you think you will have this problem then you may need to use extra adhesive. We recommend Bostik Contact Bond - it's a good contact adhesive that will not melt/separate under excessively hot conditions. It's available from most hardware stores.
