News & Testimonials

News from Americade!  We had a great week at Americade this year.  Thanks to every body who stopped by our booth at Million Dollar Beach.  Special thanks to Paul Kuhn, Americade's "Master of Ergonomics".  Thanks to Paul, we were able to pressure map both our portable Comfort Seat Cushions as well as our Comfort Seat Upgrades for motorcycle seats.  To see the results of the testing, click here.

"Fellow inmates, I am so happy with my seat rebuild from Cycle Solutions that I just have to share it with you all. Not just another aftermarket seat, these guys are using the best technology and methods to make what I think are the best seats available. What sets them apart? First, they are using memory foam. We've all seen the commercials for the beds, same technology now in your seat. By using layers of varying density combined with measuring the rider and seat to determine where your personal pressure points are as well as where your spine and pelvis line up on the seat, and factoring in the riders weight, this is truly a custom build."                     (Click here to read more)  or (click here for a pdf).


Cycle Solutions now has a blog that we're using to follow motorcycle news and rally events in the Greater Cleveland area.  We encourage you to check out the Blog at http://cyclesolutionsllc.blogspot.com/  Think about following our blop spot and adding your own comments as the 2009 ride season approaches.



Just received the following email from one of Cycle Solutions satisfied customers.  Congratulations Tim for winning the "Saddle Sore" award for riding over 5000 miles in support of the Eldridge Children's Home.  The following link will give you more information about the charity ride.  Eldridge Children's Home

Jim,   Just got back a few days ago from another little ride. Seat did better this time than it did originally ( and I had no complaints then), I had the hiney heaters on every day and it seemed to actually improve the comfort. Just wanted to drop ya'll a note to say thanks. I've enclosed a picture from the Eldridge Orphanage Ride that I participated in. later, Tim Saddle Sore Award Our long distance award rider was Tim Scarborough from Raleight, NC.  Tim rode a total of 5243 miles in Support of Eldridge Children Home,  he collected donations in North Carolina and California before arriving at Eldridge Children Home.   Tim is a member of the MTF, Motorcycle Tourer Forum, and learned of the benefit on that forum.

Our Comfort Seat innovators continue to make improvements in our basic seat upgrade. The 5.0 modifications, now include a subtle addition of a very soft layer of conformal foam, located directly under the "tailbone" as well as under that area of the seat in direct contact with the "male" anatomy.  This addition provides releif from seat pressure on these two areas of sensitive anatomy. 

As always, our designers are responding to input from satisfied riders, striving always to make a great product, even better.


Our new website is now up and running.  I'm sure there will be bugs here and there, but we really hope you like the new design.  Hopefully it will be easier to navigate as well.  You'll note there is not a link to an on-line store on the new site.  We're working on that, and in the meantime, a just a call to our shop at 216-536-0931 and we'll be able to handle whatever you need.

11,000 miles in just under a month of riding!  Not a task to take lightly or without concern for permanent damage to their posteriors.  Cycle Solutions® was proud to donate 6 of our Comfort Seat Cushions® to the team of riders who set out in May to circle the nation in under a month.

Riding a variety of motorcycles from touring bikes to cruisers, the team left Orlando and made their way to Key West, California, Washington, and Maine visiting each of the 4 extreme corners of our nation.  Their story is available at their website http://www.4corners4prayer.com/ .

So how'd the cushions do on this 11,000 mile odyssey?  Here's what Team leader Wade Mumm had to report;

Great Reviews by Satisfied Riders.





"I had Cycle Solutions upgrade my Fat Boy seat 2 years ago and forgot how much it improved my ride,  until I sold the Fat Boy and bought a new Street Glide.  After some local rides, I headed for Daytona Beach and by the end of the first day, I remembered why I had Cycle Solutions upgrade my first seat!  Dreading the ride back home, I called the guys at Cycle Solutions and they took pity on me and over-nighted one of their Comfort Seat, portable cushions to me.  It saved my rear on the return trip!  Hard to believe a portable cushion that's only 1" thick can make such a difference.  As soon as I got home, I had the Glide seat upgraded.  Thanks for making such a "forgettable" product!"


"Just a note to let you know how our seats are doing. They saved our butts on our 3200 mile vacation ride, no pain.  Both seats are great.  If you could send me some pamphlets on your seats to hand out, I have guys at work looking at $700.00 seats."

"The first thing I noticed on my ride to KC was that I sat in the same position for several hours, with no desire or need to reposition myself.  It seemed to have conformed nicely to my shape and was not creating any new hotspots or discomfort."

"I had a history of back surgeries with vertebrae fusions.  The seat made my trip possible in a pain-free environment.  We traveled 1400 miles through Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota with many days riding 2-4 hours without stopping.  Some of the other riders wanted to try the cushion, but I would not give it up!  Thanks to Cycle Solutions and their pain-free seat cushion, I am able to enjoy the sport of riding again."
