    Kind of like PP and their turbo, Borg Warner and their muffler, Walker.

    The question is, Do you like the seat? Is it really as comfortable as they claim?

    It's a good quality built seat and is comfortable but not worth double its value.

    One more thing. I was able to get the minimizer seat in a couple days as I picked it up directly. If you order an ISRI seat and its not in stock you wait 2 months for delivery. The site I posted earlier with the ISRI seat has some coming already and had I ordered from them it would have taken 1 month according to the sales agent I spoke with.

    I absolutely love my Bostrom. Best seat I've ever owned. I think I bought it at my local KW dealer and they matched the sale iowa80 was selling theirs at.

    I bought a Knoedler Grand Chief 2 years ago.
    It includes ...
    Heat
    A/C
    Full vibration massage
    2 tone custom colors to match truck paint.
    Only thing it didn't come with was a pop up girl from under the seat.
    2000$
    200$ off for first time buyer
    200$ off as thanksgiving sale
    Total cost 1600$
    and worth every penny.
    Ordered from Dave at Seat-specialists.com
    Can't promise you'll get the same deal
    NOTE... I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT GET LEATHER, though it's very nice, it cracks over time

    Is it bouncy and does the 'climate' function work well? My 13 Cascadia the seat is very bouncy the shock absorber has no effect at all.

    The first time you sit on a leather seat while wearing shorts after it has been baking in the summer sun for an hour or so is when you will invest in a seat cover.

    I owned a car with black leather seats once. Never again.
     
    Bean Jr. and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    In high school, I had a 69 goat convertible with black vinyl seats with a chrome emblem in the middle of the back, used for a branding iron. lol
