Author Message   Cash Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 06:35 pm:        Im wondering if anyone has found any other seats out there that fit taller (6'4") riders? I really liked the seat on my 06 12x, well that bike is sold and I now have an 08 XT. If I had been wiser I would have kept the 06 seat. The 12xt is a great bike, the seat is awful at best. I've looked at the corbin gunfighter but didnt like what I saw. Ive done some searches but didnt come up with anything useful. So any other directions I can get pointed would be great. thanks (Message edited by cash on July 01, 2008)   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 06:48 pm:        Get an 06 standard Uly seat. It'll gain you about 1.5 inches of height.   Prowler Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 06:49 pm:        I just had Tobin Seats re-cushion/cover my seat. I think it's a lot more comfortable and looks better, too.   Nevrenuf Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 07:43 pm:        out of curiosity cash, why would you get the xt opposed to the x outside of the fact you get the luggage and better tires. where's tobin out of prowler.   Froggy Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 08:36 pm:        Keep a eye on the classifieds here, there are people constantly swapping seats, just get yourself the 06 standard tall seat and pawn off your current one   Cash Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 06:09 pm:        the reason I went with the XT was I do 99% of my riding on the street. It seemed like the XT was more suited to do that straight of the showroom floor. I think I made the right choice if I can get a better seat.   Nevrenuf Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 07:46 pm:        i wouldn't mind doing something to my seat also. it is a bit hard for my butt. and the xt is a good choice   Dldeano Posted on Tuesday, July 01, 2008 - 09:22 pm:        sheep skin pad?? Cheap, and I have had good results w/ mine on a few different bikes (of course, I don't think the '08 seat is awful) YMMV   Nevrenuf Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 07:22 am:        i aint got no padding in my butt so if it aint really soft then it's hard to me. have a corbin for the m2 and i hate it but i let my buddy use it and he loves it. and by putting anything on top, i don't need to add to the height. i'm just thinking about having the gell inserted instead.   Prowler Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 09:38 am:        For "Tobin Seats", just Google it. He's got a web site that shows some of his seats and lists prices, etc.   Nevrenuf Posted on Wednesday, July 02, 2008 - 11:36 am:        thanks.   Cash Posted on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 04:21 pm:        i just ordered a gel pad sheepskin combo I should have it in a couple of days and i'll post up how it works.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 08:36 pm:        The 06 standard seat will fit right up, and I think it's less than $120 retail. I ride an 06 UlyX and love the seat too (also 6'4"). I just wish mine was all black...the orange under the triple-tail gets stained because I'm always out in the rain and mud, lol.
