The basic structure of Valkyrie motorcycle seats starts with the baseplate, the part responsible for elevating the rest of the Honda Valkyrie seat. The height of the baseplate is not too high as it must stay stable even against the wind. Because it is the foundation, the baseplate’s shape forms the outline for the other components: the seat pad and seat cover.
Attached to and fitted within the confines of the baseplate, the seat pad is what you rest your bottom against and makes up most of the structure in Honda VTX seats. Being made out of foam, the seat pad pillows around your body while managing to keep its original shape.
Encompassing the top of the seat pad, the seat cover functions as a protective layer from the elements. The Viking leather material makes the seat cover both durable yet smooth, being able to prevent rips while providing a stable, flat surface.

Most of the structure below the seat pad in Valkyrie seats is made out of steel bars or fiberglass. These rigid materials make it difficult for the Valkyrie seats to be knocked loose after being fastened. They are also able to withstand bad weather conditions, rusting, and heavy impacts.
Due to the seat pad being concealed, the only notable features would be the width and depth. The wider a seat pad is, the less likely you will have issues staying centered. The deeper a seat pad is, the more the foam will compress when weight is applied.
You have a wider range of choices when it comes to customizing the finish and stitch patterns. For the finish, you can go with either gloss, matte, or chrome. Fort the stitch, you have either the plain black, diamond, vertical, or horizontal stitch options.
