Anyone have the 1125 seat made by Baldwin? I can find a link to the page if need be. |

While I have no seat time on a Baldwin, they do appear to be very well made, and my parking lot test tells me that it is comfortable. If I didn't have a touring seat already, I would of bought a Baldwin. |

got one for a road trip to Colo last month.... 3500miles later and I can honestly say they are awesome. lots of padding compared to stock. At first I was a little worried about moving around and hanging off when cornering with all the extra padding but I got used to it pretty quick customer service is top notch |

I love the way they look! Does it add height or change the riding position? I have tail bone problems so I try to keep the tailbone off the seat at all times. |

They are hand made so if you need something specific in terms of height, it can probably be done. You might be able to get them to make it with a "butt channel" so the pressure is on your cheeks and not your tailbone. |

Thats a pretty cool seat Truthfully the stock seat allows my tailbone to be off the seat enough where it doesnt bother me at all. I was curious if the baldwin is more angled back or is the same contour of the stock just with more padding. |

that seat in froggy's pic shows essentially what Al @ American Sport Bike is working on... I think from saddlemen, specific for our 1125. He was showing me a prototype a few weeks ago and said the channel makes a huge difference |

I have one in vinyl/carbon with the gel insert and I can attest that it is EXCELLENT, both for comfort and function.
