I know that the 98 S3T seat will fit right onto my 97, but will the later years work? There are a couple on Ebay and I have to get a new seat before next season or my butt is going to stage a revolt. JT | ||

I put a 2000 seat on my 98. Fits perfect. However it's about 1.5 to 2 inches taller than the stock one. If that's not a problem the extra padding makes the long rides way more enjoyable! AND with the extra padding it doesn't slide you into the tank when you hit the binders. | ||

Taller is good too. I have no clearance issues on my bike at all. Thanks, JT | ||

Impulse I have a 97 & 98. I have both styles of the Corbin seat on them. The 97 I don't like at all. To me the 2000 style Corbin is much better. I thought I would put the Buell custom seat on the 97 and did so. I don't like it either. I has more padding but does not seem to fit me well. I took it off and put it back in the box. I'd like to sell it. I used it three times and pulled it. I use the 2000 Corbin on both bikes. The padding on the Buell custom doesn't seem to work for me. I have two other riding buddies that don't seem to have any problems with the way theirs feel. I have a boney butt me thinks. | ||

the '97 - '98 S3 seat was less than optimal - to put it diplomatically. The '99 and later S3 seat was a vast improvement - not perfect, but way and above better. Add some Propad to the '99 style seat, and you'll have a seat that will take you long distances without too much pain  Henrik | ||

Does this seat make my butt look big? I just could not pass up an opening like that!!LOL And of course after a shot like that I have to ask my good friend(!!!) if he has had time to think about sending me some stuff?Exhaust,skateboard things,???I almost have an S-2 again,motor is being mated with frame today,YAY!! | ||

Let me tell you, your friend have been a hair preoccupied the last few months - house, deep frozen SV w/ busted freeze plugs (water cooling Sucks!) and a few other odds'n ends. He's thought much about finding skateboard stuff for you ... well, at least he didn't cash the check ... yet H | ||

Ride cross country on a stock S1 seat or even a stock '97/'98 M2 seat then come back and tell me how terrible a '97/'98 S3 seat is. I never did like the new '99 and later wrap around configuration. It tends to push my legs outward instead of letting them hug the tank. | ||

I rode my '98S1W with the Pro-Seat to Sturgis from St. Louis. There was a lot of 'hanging-off' and 're-positioning' involved during the journey...there are worse things that can happen but no need to discuss them here. Any Buell S3 would have been more comfortable... | ||

I had a "Pro-Series" S3T seat on one of my bikes. I HATED the feel (compared to the Corbin). In the order of comfort, from worst to best: Stock '98 S3T seat (longest day: ~650 miles) Pro Series S3T seat (longest day: ~300 miles) Corbin Gunslinger & Lady (longest day: ~700 miles) As for the stock S1W seat....I didn't find it too be as bad as I expected. I've done about 500 miles a day. The Crossroads race bars cause me more discomfort than the seat. I can't wait to see how torturous it will be with the rearsets. I better find a good chiropractor  | ||

I definitely prefer the look of the pre-99 seat seat. Its not a lot different in terms of comfort and it puts you about an inch lower in the saddle which gives me a better feeling of control (mass centralization?). I use it exclusively except for 200+ mile days where the additional legroom of the 99 seat is more comfortable. |
