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.
The Kelpi Comfort Seat Trim for the 2026+ Yamaha R7 has been redesigned specifically for the latest generation of Yamaha's supersport twin, delivering a substantial improvement in comfort without compromising the sleek factory styling. Every seat is built to order in our Brisbane workshop and tailored to the individual rider's height and weight, resulting in a genuinely personalised upgrade that's as comfortable on long rides as it is at the daily commute.
Design Options
Inspired by the factory colour schemes available on the latest Yamaha R7, each seat trim combines premium black vinyl with Italian synthetic suede and our signature diamond stitching. Complete the look by choosing a detail stitch colour that best matches your bike:
• Team Yamaha Blue – Team Yamaha Blue detail stitch
• Sky Blue Models – Sky Blue detail stitch
• White & Red Models – Red detail stitch
• Black & Grey Models – Charcoal detail stitch
Custom Comfort
No two riders are built the same, so neither are our seats. Every Kelpi Comfort Seat Trim is configured around your height and weight to provide the right balance of support and cushioning.
Shorter riders receive a lower-profile 12 mm comfort insert to help preserve seat height and confidence at a standstill. Taller riders benefit from a thicker 24 mm dual-density insert, providing additional support and reducing pressure during longer rides. Foam density is also selected according to rider weight, ensuring consistent comfort and support across the entire seating surface.
Seat Options
Trim Only
This product is supplied as a replacement seat trim that fits directly to your original Yamaha seat pan.
Installation can be completed at home using an air-powered 6 mm staple gun by following our installation video, or the trim can be fitted by any competent automotive or furniture upholsterer.
Each trim includes a dual-density 12 mm comfort foam integrated into the seat cover, along with a further 12 mm comfort layer bonded to the base, providing a combined 24 mm of tailored comfort foam that's configured specifically for your riding requirements.
This option is ideal for riders looking for a significant comfort upgrade while retaining their original seat units, with lower shipping costs and straightforward installation.
Premium Materials & Craftsmanship
Every Kelpi seat is handmade in Brisbane using carefully selected materials sourced from some of the world's leading manufacturers. We don't cut corners—every component has been chosen for durability, appearance and long-term comfort.
• Italian Dinamica & Alcantara synthetic suedes
• American Carrara distressed vinyls
• Australian Dunlop comfort foams
• British Coats waxed cotton threads
Fitment & Installation
Designed exclusively for the 2026+ Yamaha R7, this seat trim is not compatible with 2022–2025 models due to Yamaha's updated seat design.
Installation typically takes around 20–30 minutes using an air-powered 6 mm staple gun and our step-by-step installation video guide. Alternatively, your local upholstery shop can install the trim quickly and professionally.
Every seat is made to order before being carefully packaged for worldwide shipping. If you're interested in custom stitching, alternative materials or additional foam modifications, get in touch—we're always happy to discuss a bespoke build.
