OK I love this bike guys but my ass hurts after about 2 hours......what seat should I go with or is it something I have to live with?????????

I like my corbin...

 

[George Anderson]

OK whats the damage on a seat ????aprox

 

[74novaguy]

prices are on the site... depending on the seat i think they go from 400 to 1000 depending on options and seat style.

 

[sfcmcgan]

just me.. but I have gone a several 200 mile trips and found the pretty comfy.. I did get the mustang seat recently.. not for me but for my wife... it is much wider.. have not got to try it yet...

Love my mustang seat very comfy and less expensive than corbin but seats are subjective also what may be good for one may not for another. you could take the seat off and take it to a local guy and see what can be done may save you big bucks.

While my bike is getting painted I took the seat to an upolsterer, we removed a big hunk of the foam and replaced it with a gel pad, i'll post the results when I get me bike back. I like the seating position of the OEM seat, just not enough padding for a big ass like mine.

I'm thinking along the same lines that strykenshane is doing I saw this the other day saddlemen makes gel seat inserts I'm going to go this route and have it put in the driver section and the passanger heres the link to the inserts

I like this sounds confty ,I also like the sitting possition of the stock seat.

 

[chris]

also how much is the upolster charging you?

This is my configuration. Star Custom Cruise Solo Seat. More padding and support for lower back. Then when the wife rides I have a Modified Stratoliner Passenger seat. Great padding and much wider than stock.

 

[strykenshane]

Paid 55 for the gel pad and 155 to have the upholsterer do his majic

thats actually pretty reasonable...

 

[strykenshane]

Yeah, I did this once before to a VTX and it made it to where I could ride that bike at least 500 miles a day with no issues, hoping this will be the same result

I also bought the Mustang seat for my wife about 2,000 miles ago. It's much more comfy for the passenger. Only negative for me is I feel like I sit just a wee bit forward compared to stock but it does offer more back support.

Is your bike in the paint shop or have you had a chance to try it?

 

[strykenshane]

Nope, crossing my fingers I'll have it back this week, the little woman will be shopping all next weekend and all I'm gonna do is ride ride ride

 

[Mentat Ix]

I like the stock seat. Gone 5 and 6 hour rides comfy as can be... You should try a stock seat on an 84 honda shadow. That'll learn ya.

 

[christopher.j]

I had a layer of memory foam put on top of the factory foam. Made a big differance. At first I wasn't sure because it was different to what I was used to. But after a couple of rides I am happy with the results. Cost me $75.00

 

[SmokenJoe]

Seat on mine is great. Want a bad seat try the stock VTX. 75 miles and I was ready to get off and walk home.
