Any recommendations for a comfy good looking seat for my -92 Savage. In my opinion the stock seat is both ugly and uncomfortable.

I'm gonna find out next week if the corbin seat is all it's cracked up to be. But Sandra bullocks seat would work for me too.

There aren't a whole lot of after-market options for our seat, but we've done some creative things. I found a Mustang seat for an old Ironhead on Ebay for dirt cheap, in great shape, similar shape to my stock seat, but the pan wasn't curved right. So I took the guts off my seat and transferred the padding and vinyl from the Mustang to my stock seat pan (also had raw Saddlemen gel insert). Had a little help from a professional upholsterer, but if I hadn't known someone to help, I probably could have winged it myself. Others have modified Sportster seats, I think someone even used a stock Vulcan seat. All depends on what you want and your amount of imagination... and a little talent....
What "style" are you looking for? What have you seen that you like?

Thanks for all replies
I am looking for a slim looking seat, kinda like the sportster seat. Where do you get the Corbin seats? Do they fit bolt on?
Cheers Carl

Directly from Corbin. $279, but worth every penny.

Okay, I got the corbin seat mounted and took it to work today. It's only about a half hour each way so I didn't get a really good chance to test out the seat but in the short time I was in the saddle, it was way more comfy than the stock or the sporty seat. I'll hopefully get a chance to take it for a longer ride this weekend.

AL, did the Corbin move you closer or farther back from the bars/pegs?
I'm trying to go back more but I heard the Corbin does just the opposite...

I was hoping for a little more room too but it does move the driver closer to the tank. I don't have forward controls but I have highway pegs and it seems okay using them. I have short legs anyway. Can't wait to go for a longer ride. Seems like there's more room for the passenger but thats what I bought the C50 for.

When the Sporty arrives and is put on,
I will give an opinion of it verses the stock.
