We conceive the design, templates and compatibility in the world of FCR Originaluniverse, then hand-crafted by our trusted French partner NPS Sellerie. Take a behind-the-scenes look at a bespoke Seat moto, from the first line to the last stitch.
At the heart of the gesture
There's more to a successful Seat than just a good-looking surface. It's the sum total of technical and aesthetic choices that transform your motorcycle into an object of emotion. On a Triumph or a BMW, the seat already expresses your style: taut café racer lines, heritage elegance, long-haul comfort. Our mission at FCR Accessoires is simple: to offer you a Seat that respects the lines of your machine, enhances your comfort and is a lasting part of your personalization project.
Our FCR Accessoires method
The process begins in our workshops: ergonomic study, definition of curves, compatibility with our back loops and kits, then template creation and artistic direction validation. FCR Original. Once these requirements have been met, our French partner NPS Sellerie, a trusted neighbor, carries out the handcrafted production.
This synergy combines product creation, saddlery know-how and rigorous quality control to deliver top-of-the-range, customized motorcycle saddles ready to fit your Triumph, BMW R NineT and BMW R18.
Video immersion at NPS Sellerie
To share this unfiltered know-how, we filmed a complete video in the NPS Sellerie workshop. You'll see the precise gestures, the rigorous pattern-making, the mastery of topstitching and the tensioning of the headdress.

Step 1 - the foam base
It all starts with a clean base and the selection of the right foams for the job: support density for support, comfort for the seat. We gradually sculpt to achieve a flowing shape that aligns naturally with the bike's tank and rear end.
The surface is then smoothed with pneumatic sanding. We add a fine finishing foam to obtain an even skin. This step is essential for a perfectly taut, long-lasting cap.
Step 2 - Templates and patterns
We trace the sewing lines directly on the foam, then apply a thin, transparent fabric to create a true-to-size template. Each piece is numbered, its seam values integrated and the pattern transferred to the final material: full-grain leather, premium imitation or alcantara.
Step 3 - Sewing and topstitching
The headdress comes to life at the NPS Sellerie workshop. Panels are assembled with extreme attention to pattern alignment. The stitching gives rhythm to the material, revealing the volumes and giving the Seat its visual signature. It's at this stage that the personality of your personalized Seat moto is expressed: elegant fluting, precise rhombuses, subtle piping.
Step 4 - Covering and finishing
Covering consists of stretching the cover over the foam, then gluing it neatly to the underside of the base with neoprene. The returns are adjusted millimeter by millimeter for perfect tension. A finishing felt is then glued to the underside of the Seat to protect the frame's paintwork and keep the underside as clean as the top.
Triumph & BMW control and compatibility
Every series produced by NPS Sellerie goes through our quality control at FCR Accessoires. We check cap tension, symmetry and cleanliness of finishes. Above all, we validate compatibility with our rear buckles and kits for plug-and-play mounting on Triumph, BMW R NineT and BMW R18.

FAQ
How to customize your Triumph Seat ?
Start by defining your style: classic heritage, café racer spirit or minimalist look. Choose your material and pattern, then adapt the foam density to your riding needs. Our references are designed for Triumph Bonnevilles and Bobbers. You can start with a ready-to-install model and adapt it to your personal preferences.
How to customize your BMW Seat ?
On the BMW R NineT, a Seat with rear buckle refines the line and enhances attitude. On the BMW R18, opt for superior comfort with a 2-seater version or a Seat with integrated luggage rack. Select materials, stitching and density to suit your ride and posture.
How do you know which Seat to choose for your motorcycle?
Use dictates the choice. For city and touring use, opt for a comfort mix foam. For long-distance cruising and two-up riding, opt for a more generous density and a softer feel. Aesthetics must remain consistent with the lines of your Triumph or BMW.
