The comfort seat went up Tuesday at the sellers west coast time of 11:22 pm. An hour later later it was snapped up and there were seven posts of regret for being late. Seems to be some demand. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 561436.html?1273068413 Any interest here? |

You got an extra, I'd probably take it, especially at that price. I'd even pay retail for one, but not the fleabay prices. I can get a corbin or ballwin seat for what they go for there and it would be brand new and exactly what I order. |

Pete, you know I can't ride more than 20 minutes without my bony @$$ making me want to run into a tree to ease the pain. Maybe eating that southern fried food will fatten me up. |

How do BWB members organize a group order? Erik Buell Racing must know the vendor. To avoid any restrictions or covenants with HD they could sell those seats, one as Daytona 24 hour endurance racing seat and the other as a Paris-Dakar trans-continental endurance racing seat. The Paris-Dakar seat would be 2 inches thicker. I want one. Lets add up the demand and see if we can get Erik Buell Racing or American Sport Bike to cut us a deal. |

Is this the "Firebolt Custom Seat", part 52319-02Y, that we are talking about? If so, count me in also. I am not even looking for a great deal. MSRP would be perfect. |

Erik Buell Racing probably has had ZERO contact with the seat vendor. I'm sure HD does (did) all that stuff. You'd be better off buying a spare stocker, and taking it to a local seatmaker/upholstery shop (or a sponsor) so they can use the pan to make whatever seat you want. It'd be less frustrating, anyway... |

Am I the only one that loves the stock seat? |

Actually I do love the stock seat, compared to the dozen plus sport bikes I've had it's waaaaaay more comfy than average. But can't help think how much more comfy it could be .... but i have no issues with the stocker, overall the 1125R is the most comfortable sportbike I've ever owned, second would be the 2004+ R1. |

I don't know what you people are talking about I'm only 29 and like many above want to run into a tree after 25 minutes of riding to ease the pain. Group buy, I'm in. |

I wonder if a gel insert is an option if they're being custom made? Where are you planning on trying to get these from? HD? The original supplier? Or Corbin, Ballwin or somewhere else? I really don't want to spend $300+ for a seat. |

This is a tentative list only. Dean, I don't want to spend $300 for a seat either. That's why I am trying to organize this.

Might be a good idea to start a new thread with something in the title about what you are trying to do. |

Not sure I follow the stock vs 2" thicker items in the list. Can you explain? I thought the idea was that everyone group buy on the Buell custom seat? Or, are you now asking for seat specs people desire in a custom fab group buy? |

I am just playing this by ear hoping we can get this off the ground. If you want something extra we can always ask. Stock or custom, right now in two days time I have 22 or 23 people that are interested. |

Hi Danny. I guess what I don't understand is the "stock" part. Aren't we all after the custom seat? For example, what does it mean that "stock" is beside my name? |

Supplier will not sell to Erik Buell Racing. Huge problem we have had on many parts, requiring re-sourcing. |
