I have a 97 S3. Doses a seat from any other year/model fit it? There's a Corbin seat on eBay that says 97-98 but the front comes to a point as it goes up the tank instead of wrapping around the sides. I'm kinda new to Buells and just learning | ||

All S3 seats are interchangeable. The early S3 seats were lower and came to a point, like a wider bicycle seat. On a long ride, (over 400 miles/day)they became instruments of torture. In '99, Buell came out with the newer seat, which extended forward over the sides of the fuel tank, and had more padding. It was a godsend. The Corbin seat was designed in '97 as an improvement to the original seat, but it moved the rider's butt back, leaving less room for a passenger. From the sound of it, you have the most comfortable seat of the three. | ||

Like Crusty said. The early seats do take a flat locking bar where the later ones have a bend in the tip. I ran an early version of the Corbin on my '99 S3 for a while without a lock bar in place DAve | ||

while on the seat subject: The 01 cyclone I picked up last spring, the tabs where the bolt grabs onto the seat keep getting pushed open by the bolt and the seat is constantly getting loose. Anyone know of a good fix for this? ...the way Buell came up with to attach the seat pisses me off! ,they definately cut the corner on this one. |
