Default After Market Seats

I would like to hear from you about after market seats? I am new to the forum. Last summer I purchased a new 2005 Deuce. I have installed Vance & Hines Big Radius exhaust and of course added custom pegs, hand grips and numerous chrome goodies. Don't we all? I want to upgrade my seat to make it more comfortable for long rides for both my wife & I. At this time I'm leaning towards the Saddleman Explorer, and would like to hear from you about seat comfort and quality issues.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

I moved this "poll" to this forum as it's not really a good thread with which to welcome. I might suggest that you edit your poll, as I think you are asking questions, vice giving us choices to go on. I might recommend listing some seats...Corbin, Mustang, LA, Stock, etc., and then letting us answer those questions when we vote...

Not sure what you were getting at.

TNW...welcome to the forum.

Mac

I have a '90 FXST.
Bar Enterprises in SoCa did my seat. About 500 miles to break in a couple of years ago. My next seat will be from here also.
Custom made and good service.

I like Corbin seats, but the body panels and fairings are disgusting. I see them all the time in mags and ads, but never on the street, so I guess I'm not alone.

I don't know that I've ever seen the body panels and fairings...

Can't beat the ride of a Corbin though...

It's a Saturday morning TV show, Corbin's Ride On, and they show bikes, rides and parts, but when they show the plastics I almost barf.

I have ridden more than 10hours in a seat similar to this in one sitting.
The standard Harley seat is a great luxury.
