The PCX seats are tiny however I've seats great custom seats throughout Thailand but never encountered the owners. Any company names would be appreciated - Sukhumvit. High sois the better.

I don't think I have ever encountered 'custom' seats if you mean seats that are specifically designed and made for you and only you. Seats like that would be one-of-a-kind; therefore, it stands to reason that they would be fairly expensive and have limited demand. If they exist, there would be a select number of shops doing such work. I kind of like the idea of having a seat that has been designed with a mold of my rear end taken into account and positioned accordingly for my particular seating habits. That would be a nice addition to my motorbike, but I doubt I could afford such a luxury.

If you mean a 'replacement' seat, those are fairly easy to come by. I have a replacement seat for my Neovo for the simple reason that I am rather tall. I don't need the ultra thick, padded seat that comes standard with the bike. I certainly don't need the extra height. I needed the opposite, a slimmer seat that lowered me. Shops that sell these are a dime a dozen. They exist virtually everywhere. Your local bike shop can point you in the right direction. Just look for the shops that have seats hanging all over the place. I personally use one called "Jack Klong Toey". The 'Klong Teoy" bit is written in Thai script. I bought mine on Suthorn Kosa road near the intersection of Rama IV and Rama III near where Asoke-Montri intersects with Rama IV. These shops exist the entire length of Rama IV heading towards Sukhumvit. There are also 2-3 of them located on On Nut Road (Sukhumvit 77) that I drive past daily. You will notice that there aren't many motorbike repair shops or specialty motorbike parts shops on Sukhumvit itself, as the rents would be prohibitively expensive. However, the are everywhere are the sois that connect, either even or odd numbered. There are a fair few shops selling various motorbike accessories at the intersection of Rama IV and Sukhumvit, just behind the Good Year tire shop. If they don't sell replacement seats, they can certainly tell you where to go very close to their location. They sell them for all makes and models of motorbikes, and prices will vary depending on the usual factors, quality, materials, brand, etc. Just go ask and have a look around. You will be cruising in comfort in no time at all!

Sukhumvit 71, on the left heading from Suk Probably about the Soi 19 - 25 mark? Just a shopfront with no signage but you'll see a large pile of seats on the footpath and the guys cutting & shaping cushions, recovering etc.
