Author Message   Lost_in_ohio Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 09:11 pm:        There are no custom seats for a 12ss. I guess I am going to have to do it myself. I have a guy that does bike seats and I even trust him so.............Any clue where to start? I would like a something a little nicer or stylish..... I would like to not tear up the stock seat to do it but make a second seat I can make shorter like some of the stuff I have seen on the trojan site. With the stock seat still available wifey can still right in the amount of time it takes me to change back to the stock seat.   U4euh Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:25 am:        Jerry, wait a week or so. The new line of stuff will be released and they MIGHT put out something for you model. Even if you don't want to buy a new one, someone will be selling their stock one, which will make a nice project base for you. It's what I done. But after finding a CityX seat that worked for what I was after(more comfort for the wife), I sold the pan.   Kurosawa Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 12:02 pm:        Another seat builder and modifier that I hear is pretty good: http://www.sargentcycle.com/   Mxer83 Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 12:16 pm:        sargent did the seat on my 2004 xb12s turned out great,nice grippy material   Skyguy Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 12:25 pm:        I had a sargent seat on two of my previous CBR's Ditched my Corbin to go with the sargent in fact. Great seats very comfy and top notch workmanship. They will do anything you like!!!   Lost_in_ohio Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 12:57 pm:        Thx for the replys......I will wait and see about the new line...... Went to the sargent site and didnt see any buells listed did you have it custom made? No rush....I have already spent too much on my toy this month.   Skyguy Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 01:14 pm:        Sargent will do any seat custom. You just have to send it to them. If I were you I would buy an extra and ship it off. Tell them exactly what you are looking for. I recommend using the grip-tex material. Great stuff.   Dongalonga Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 01:37 pm:        Isnt it much harder to move from side to side in transistioning corners with the grip-tex material. I will admit my XB9SL has no padding but i think the cover material is perfect for the twisties. Then again it is the only seat other than a Blast Low (which I hate for the record) I have ever ridden.
