I put the Saddlemen raw gel seat pad in my seat and made a big difference, so I'm sorry to hear that the regular gel seats don't feel much different. I'm not very heavy, and every seat I sit on doesn't seem to "give" much. I don't like the looks of the pillow style seats. I did sit on a Mustang seat that felt very nice! Of course, it was waaayyy too big for my bike.

My search continues.....

I did find a Mustang on ebay for a Sportster and I emailed the seller for some measurements. Got the reply and was willing to give it a try, but the auction ended while I was out of town over the weekend. Funny though, the seat didn't sell, so I emailed the seller back asking if they would take the starting bid price, or if they were going to re-list, and I'd buy it. Didn't hear back from them today....
Sad

Reply #17 - 10/12/09 at 16:44:42 Suzuki has two gel seats one isn't pillow,The way I understand it the gel is in the middle between the foam so you ready don't feel it like you would a gel pad on top,Its still going to work. Theres 2 seats on that page you had .

Bill - thanks for making sure that I had seen both OEM seats, but yes, I knew there were two styles there. I was trying to see if anyone had one. I'm still debating because although the OEM seat isn't a ton of money, its still alot, so I was hoping to get someone's take on it before I make the investment.

We also have a local flea market that has a store that recently bought out a used motorcycle shop. They have tons of parts (most of which they are struggling to identify make/model of bike they fit.... its sad really) but they also have a bunch of seats. They told me if I'd bring my bike down, we could take off my seat and try several on it to see what fits and what I might like. They are only open on weekends and with hunting season starting this weekend, its not looking good for me getting there... but I'll search until I find the right one for me. It might just turn out to be the OEM gel seat.

I'm glad everyone that got a Corbin seems to be happy with it. I just don't think its the one for me.

I don't mind being closer to tank, actually. Gives better handling - more weight on F wheel.

I agree voldogicam,Me being 5'6" it would be alright for me.

I was wondering about that. The comfort angle doesn't interest me that much anymore (my 300-500 mile days are long gone), but being a little farther forward could make a difference to us who are vertically challenged.

wow, bill, I would have figured you'd like one that wasn't so worn and tattered...

I think it was comedian Greg Giraldo (sp?) who told this joke at the Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson: He was commenting on the internet film footage of Pamela and her well-endowed ex-husband Tommy Lee performing pornographic acts. "I haven't seen a pu$$y take a pounding like that since Clay Akin lost to Reuben Stoddard" (Reference to season one of "American Idol").

Probably explains the worn and tattered condition. Grin
