A man named Randall Dale Chipkar is selling an EMF shield designed to be fitted inside a motorcycle seat.

"EMF" stands for electromagnetic field. He claims that EMFs can cause cancer, and that our motorcycles are emitting enough of these EMFs to put riders in danger. His EMF shield can be fitted inside a motorcycle seat to provide riders with "peace of mind".

In fact, Chipkar authored a book entitled, "MOTORCYCLE CANCER? Are motorcycles KILLING US with cancers of the prostate, colon, kidney, bone, etc?", where he documents cases of riders whom he met diagnosed with cancer, and which he claims were victims of their own motorcycles.

"All of these riders had extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation shooting up from their motorcycle seats into their lower torso", Chipkar says. "Some readings were 100 times higher than what can be considered as acceptable exposure."

Chipkar goes on to say that governments and industry leaders are in denial over motorcycle-based EMFs so as to not create panic.

Ultimate Seats is a Canadian-based company that has been making seats for Honda and Yamaha motorcycles for several years. I just noticed they're now making them for Harley Davidson motorcycles.

I have their seat on my Yamaha Road Star, and it's the most comfortable seat I've ever sat on. That's also compared to the Mustang Seat, which I bought previously. I know someone with a Honda Valkyrie, and he's says the same thing. I've had other guys sit on my Road Star and they amazed at how comfortable it is.

Now I'm tempted to get one for my HD Ultra Classic.

They're not the prettiest of seats. They look fat. If you want a sleek slim looking seat, this isn't it. But if you want comfort, that's their speciality.

I remember when I put the Ultimate Seat on my Road Star, I found that I sat about one inch lower to the ground. On the other hand, the company says that their seats won't change your seating position at all. But I think their seat is so cushy, that the cushiness drops your body down another inch. I know this because my feet stand flat to the ground on my Road Star, whereas before they didn't.

That would be a plus for my Ultra Classic. As it is now, I can't stand the bike up with my feet flat on the ground.
