YAMAHA MT07 (2014-2017) COMFORT SEAT TRIM
This Product at a Glance
- ⚠️ Important Information: Please read through our dedicated seats glossary before reaching out with any questions not covered by this product page (or the glossary itself).
- ✂️ Trim Only vs New Seat Units: For all seat products, we supply you with a handmade, model-specific seat trim. For some bike models, we are also able to supply an OEM-equivalent moulded seat base and foam, with our seat trim pre-installed. If ordering the former, you will need to remove your stock seat trim (see video guide below) and then install the Kelpi seat trim. If ordering the latter, you simply remove your existing seat and replace it with the Kelpi unit. If you don't see "New Seat Unit + Trim" as an option, we do not carry a seat base, and you will need to order the trim-only version to install yourself.
- 🍑 Comfort Level?: Trim-Only = ~10-15% improvement in comfort. New Seat Unit + Trim = ~15-25% improvement in comfort.
- 🌦️ Waterproof?: We use weather-resistant materials for all our seat trims. While the materials themselves are water resistant and will stand up to the elements, repeated or prolonged exposure to torrential rain or snow will likely result in water entering the seat through the stitching. We suggest keeping the seat dry wherever possible, and using a damp sponge or towel to spot clean the seat when required.
- ▶️ Installation Process?: Watch our start-to-finish seat trim installation video HERE.
Please note that ALL our seats are hand-made-to-order here in Brisbane, Australia. A lead time of 2-4 weeks is our standard turnaround time on any order containing a seat product. You will be notified of your seat's completion before it is shipped to you. Please allow up to 30 days between placing a seat order and the order being shipped to your address.
Designed specifically for the first-generation Yamaha MT-07 (2014-2017), our custom comfort seat trim enhances both rider comfort and styling while increasing the durability of the stock seat unit. Offered in small-batch runs, each seat cover is handcrafted in Brisbane, Australia, using premium automotive materials to deliver exceptional fit and finish.
Improved Comfort
Unlike many seat designs that allow for minimal foam adjustment before impacting the bike’s visual profile, our MT-07 trim allows for a full 24mm of dual-density foam layering. This results in a significant increase in comfort and extended ride time without sacrificing aesthetics. With the stock foam depth sitting under 50mm, this redesign transforms the feel of the seat, reducing pressure points and keeping you comfortable on long rides. Shorter riders can opt for a 12mm single-layer insert, allowing for a lower profile without the need to sacrifice cushioning.
Design Options
- Ribbed Stitch: A modern short ribbed stitch allows for a sleek look and better grip on the seat, preventing sliding onto the tank.
- Diamond Stitch: Now bringing out signature double diamonds to the first Gen MT07 provides a truly gorgeous aesthetic, while also improving comfort and seat grip.
Design & Craftsmanship
Each seat is handcrafted using a collection of high end materials that we have chosen and sourced globally, creating a world class trail of provenance unseen amongst our competitors.

Italian Dinamica & Alcantara synthetic suedes
-
American Carrara distressed vinyls

Australian Dunlop foams

Fitment & Installation
This trim is designed to fit the Yamaha MT-07 first-generation models (2014-2017) as a set of covers, replacing both the rider and pillion seats. We do not offer a rider's seat only for this model. Installation takes as little as 15 minutes and can be done yourself with an air-powered 6mm staple gun. For those less inclined to install themselves, local upholsterers can provide professional fitting for a small fee. We tend to love this option, as you’ll get perfect fitment whilst also getting an unbiased professional opinion on the quality of upholstery that we do. Since we started Kelpi, we’ve yet to hear of any trimmer who hasn’t been impressed by our work.
