Author Message   Lager Posted on Sunday, October 31, 2010 - 08:13 pm:        Lets start with this. Just Bought my 99 Lightning and its in need of some improvements. First of all, a better seat.. The origional pushes me forward, squishing the man junk while riding.Very uncomfortable, there has to be a better way. While I have you here, lets talk repair manuals. I see a number of them on line to buy.What would you suggest,If you needed the best or the most complete?   Daveswan Posted on Sunday, October 31, 2010 - 08:36 pm:        I have an M2 and bought a Corbin... huge improvement over stock though I'm not terribly impressed with the fit of the seat. People have notice quality issues with Corbins. If I were to do it again I'd check Baldwin.   Essmjay Posted on Sunday, October 31, 2010 - 10:02 pm:        Buy the factory service manual and parts book. Do it now. And welcome to the club!   Lager Posted on Monday, November 01, 2010 - 08:41 pm:        Hey Dave,thanks for responding. In the time I posted this, I remembered a seat modifier based out of Florida that has done some amazing work for me in the past. I just sent him a mail wondering if was willing to work his magic on my X1 seat. If hes willing and it works well,I will be posting it up on here. I cant be the only person with the same problem. Essmjay, Thanks for the welcome.Im a paper kind of guy, Love paper manuals. But? I noticed there are Factory service manuals available in CD form for a lot less money. Was wondering if the CD format was user friendly and specific pages were printable?   Sanders Posted on Monday, November 01, 2010 - 09:03 pm:        +1 on the factory service manual. I replaced my stock seat with a Corbin. I haven't had any problem with it. The stock seat made my taint fall asleep, not a good thing.   F_skinner Posted on Monday, November 01, 2010 - 09:13 pm:        I was really impressed how much better a Baldwin seat was over a Corbin. Plus Baldwin Seats is made by a Buell rider (he has a X1 among other Buells) They are made to your specifications.   Rex Posted on Tuesday, November 02, 2010 - 02:38 pm:        Frank, I went over to their site. They make a good looking seat for my Buell cr. Price seams fairly reasonable to. I think I will contact them. REX   F_skinner Posted on Tuesday, November 02, 2010 - 03:04 pm:        Lager, here is a link to a X1 seat. http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/Buell%20X1%20Light ning%20Seats.htm
