This was a generic tall seat that I sent to Fisher to modify into what you see here. It's roughly double the width in the rear, several different types and layers of new foam, plus a new cover they made for the seat. The quality is unreal, top notch company. All the seams line up perfectly and are even. I spoke with Nate for past couple weeks going back and forth with him on exactly what I wanted visually (down to have a slightly slope) and exactly what he suggested for comfort since my fiddy is street legal. What I got back was exactly what I pictured in my head, can't say enough good things about Fisher.

odd shape but i see what your going for on a street bike but i wouldnt want it on a dirt bike it would feel so wide when standing up, great quality
only thing i see wrong is the is the name tag for the 50s it should be at the front cos the ones that are on the rear tear off cos us adults sit right at the back
i think five O where the only one to figure that out that i know off my BBR tag is long gone

You got a point, front would have been better option for the seat tag. Oh well, too late now, lol. Fisher specializes in modifying enduro seats for comfort, this was the first CRF50 seat they've done. When talking to Nate, the standing up part was one of the aspects of the design for enduros, but for this bike standing up doesn't matter for me but he said it shouldn't interfere with standing up to stretch if I wanted. :)

The modification costs $180 which at first seemed high but considering me and Nate went back and forth over emails and phone for a couple weeks fine tuning what I wanted and what he suggested for comfort plus the different layers of foam in the right places, shaping it and they built a whole new cover with colors/material I wanted I personally think it's worth it....and will be even more so when I'm riding it on the streets without the seat going up my butt crack. Also just a side note, I paid $200 for NewImage to modify my Hayabusa seat. They didn't add or change out any foam, just cut down the front 80% of it and recovered it in 2 colors.

Here's rear view on the bike. I'm sure it'll look a little funny for added width when I get it all back together, but I did it all for comfort.

For kicks here's the modified 'busa seat

Yea I was going to say the back part looks really wide almost like its a huge bicycle seat. It must feel nice though. I already think that sitting on an Elka is like sitting on a pillow but I bet this paired with an Elka must be heaven especially when the dirt gets all those stupid dips and rivots. Nice color scheme to match the frame. I had a question though. What are those orange things sticking up on your handlebars? Some sort of lights?

Yeah price was same as if I got a 450x seat or something done, but my butt will thank me later.

Those orange things above my handle bars are master cylinders for the front and rear disc brakes (z50 forks, z50 rear hub and z50 Kitaco 10x3.5 wheels). The master cylinders also have the levers which are billet and roll-and-click type for adjustable. They came from Japan, after lots of research they are the only ones I could find that had matching left and right levers and MCs....just got lucky and they made them in anodized orange. :)

Incredible. I was searching orange seats for my 2007 CRF project. A little to pricey for me now but nice Custom work. I have these Orange and Black Lucas Oil Kit to go with it. I also have a white tall Seat that is brand new I may use. Excellent Job !!!
I just happen to dig in my spam and found this email/reply. You have good tastes since you like orange. I really dig the lucas plastics. You should get some more orange pieces to tie all the orange in together. BTW, recently i've noticed alot more orange anodized stuff for motorcycles lately, it's all china stuff but should be decent at least.
