I have been thinking about getting a different seat for my 12R. the stock one is just a smidge to hard for some of the longer rides I make in the summer. Has anyone used the custom seat from Buell? it says its more for the longer hauls, but hey thats also a sales pitch... Or does anyone know who makes a seat with more padding?

I added the Buell Custom Firebolt seat.

It is a big improvement over the stock seat.

In fact, I think it should be the stock seat.

Go for it.

While I have a corbin on the front I have the custom seat for the pillion.

My passengers report a definite improvement in comfort with it, the firebolt logo embroidered in it is cool too;)

the Buell select seat is DEFINITELY the way to go. That was my first mod and my one of my favorites. I haven't sat on the corbin so I can't say how much better it is, if at all, than the Buell select. All I know is the corbin one is way more $$$

I also have the custom pillion and touring rear seat. I only use the touring for passengers and they all say it's great and very comfortable. (for a sport bike) I only bought the custom rear seat to match the front seat. I'm weird like that.

I have heard mixed reveiws on the Corbin, I got a select seat but got it so late in the fall I haven't had a chance to ride it. Sure is a lot thicker and not much could be worse than the stock seat for long trips.

Damnut,
Does buell make a select seat for the Firebolt?? I thought it was only for the lightning...

Seems to be only a couple aftermarket seat choices for the bolt.

Hey Blazinc5, if you are getting a custom seat for your 12, would you be interested in parting with the stock seat? If so how much? Thanks!

The Buell touring seat kicks ass! Not really, it kinda holds it nicely and is very comfy! I love mine. It will however raise you a tad bit higher, so if you are on your tippy toes already it will get a lil higher.

Damnut, that looks like the streetfighter seat to me, and the buell website doesn't say anything about a "select" seat. I thought that one was also considered the "touring" seat.

select, custom, touring..... call it what you will but I believe that the seat that I have and the seat that is in the link are one and the same. call me crazy if you will


I also believe that Buell only offers 1 other FRONT seat besides the stock one......... and that's the one I have and also the one that is in that link I posted.......... I believe............





Now for REAR seat there are 3 different ones. the stock, select/custom and the touring.
