Find a good upholsterer that does custom work and have one made using a good closed cell foam. I made one myself cause I had some particular desires, namely good two up longevity since I ride more with my wife than I do by myself, but any good upholsterer should be able to do what you're looking for for the same cost or less than corbin, just in vinyl instead of Leather. | ||

Off the record, Saddlemen in Calif makes Buell's seats. They "can" make you a custom seat fit to your dimensions with extra width, thickness, gel insert, various types of covers and not just vinyl or leather - whatever you want. My stock 9R seat is just as comfortable as my 96 S1's seat that was custom modified by Saddlemen with extra width, gel & Spandura cover. Sparky 96S1, 98S3, 039R | ||

I put Corbin in touch with Vallejo Buell, who last I heard was going to loan one of their store Firebolts to Corbin so a seat can be developed. Not sure of the status, but I'd bet that Corbin will have a Firebolt seat set soon. Al | ||

I've used Sargent Cycle seats on two bikes. They worked up a custom mod on my 1996 900SS and I bought one of their replacement (world seats?) seats for my VFR. Both were awesome, lots of colors, textures to choose from. I've never been a fan of Corbin seats, too hard and they all seem to have a 'pocket' you fit into that's towards the back of the seat then mounds up as it goes forward. Makes it uncomfy/hard to sit up close to the tank. Just my opinion, and like butts, everyones got one...... |
