About South Side Cycle Seats

South Side Cycle Seats: Any Ride. Any Rider. Total Comfort.
Our Team
The group operates at the intersection of industrial grit and artistic precision. They aren't just making parts; they are curating an identity that feels lived-in and authentic. Their collaborative style likely involves a lot of back-and-forth, where technical limits are pushed by creative risks, resulting in work that feels both custom-made and "ride-ready."
Core Philosophy: High-speed aesthetics backed by manual labor. If it doesn't look mean and feel comfortable for a hundred-mile stretch, it isn't finished.
Our Brands
At South Side Cycle Seats, the selection of leathers and vinyl's is curated specifically for the rigors of the road—balancing high-end aesthetics with the durability required for South Saint Paul weather and long-distance touring.
Here is a breakdown of our premium materials and what’s currently hitting the workbench:
Highest Quality Leathers
We source hides that aren't just beautiful, but are treated to withstand UV rays and moisture without losing their character.
- Top-Grain Cowhide: The gold standard for durability. It offers that classic feel and develops a unique patina over time, perfect for a long-term build on a Street Glide or Road Glide.
- Premium Distressed Leathers: Specifically chosen for that "weathered but rugged" look, often used in our steampunk-inspired designs.
- Custom Tanned Hides: We offer specialized textures—including perforated options for better airflow—ensuring that "The South Side" touch is felt in every stitch.
Elite Marine-Grade Vinyl's
For riders who want the look of leather with zero-maintenance resilience, our vinyl's are the top tier of the industry.
- Carbon Fiber Weave Vinyl: A high-performance look that provides excellent grip and a modern industrial aesthetic.
- Heavy-Duty Marine Vinyl: Engineered to be waterproof and heat-resistant. These stay cooler in the sun and won't crack or fade after a season of hard riding.
- Specialty Textures: From "alligator" and "ostrich" grains to ultra-smooth matte finishes that mimic premium calfskin.
New Products & Additions
We are constantly expanding our catalog to keep up with new styles and rider needs:
- Integrated Gel Inserts: We've recently refined our process for seamless comfort upgrades, allowing for "all-day" saddle time without changing the profile of the seat.
- Expanded Thread Library: We’ve added new industrial-strength, UV-resistant bonded poly threads in high-vis and metallic colors to match custom paint jobs perfectly.
Note: Every material we use is tested to ensure it holds up to the vibration and pressure of heavy-duty riding. Whether it’s a full custom reshape or a simple recovery, the quality of the "skin" is what defines the final ride.
Are you looking for a specific material for a current project, or would you like to see how a certain leather would pair with a specific stitch pattern?
