That's not true, if you shop around. Hit eBay...I got mine through eBay from BikersHaven for a whole lot less than what you are describing.

Here's the one I've been looking at. You have to buy the backrests seperately, the chrome rail and even the fecking thumbsrews!!! [:@]

Nice seat, but pricey!! Mind you, if it gives you the comfort you need, it'll be worth it!

Cheers!

I have said it before and I will continue to say it: Bar Enterprises makes a great custom seat using Millenium Foam. It is very comfortable and I have not heard anyone that has had a Mill Foam seat complain about it like you do some gel seat owners. Look at their site. Knowlege is power!

Just took my first ride of the year on Easter Sunday and tried out the new Mustang seat with rider backrest. Why the hell did I wait so long? What a huge difference!

Do you have pic of your new seat? I've heard good things about Mustang seats...

I just ordered a Button Pleat Hitchhiker seat from BAR Enterprises. The good news, if you're interested is that during the month of April, all of their two-up seats are 15% off!!!
The seat was $282.95 minus $42.44 = 240.51.
I paid $125 t have Millenium Foam added to the rider's seat only. They are pulling the leather over, so it looks like a one piece seat for free...also they are narrowing the front of the seat for me. They are currently running about 3 weeks before they start building your seat, but don't charge your credit card until they start building. Patty is really nice and helpful to talk to. I will give a review and post pics when I get the seat.
I chose this seat because I really like the way it looks, the great lumbar support it should offer and that it should be very comfortable. Only time will tell, but it seems like a good value and somebody on the forum has to be a guinea pig for this company.

That's the seat I'm leaning towards. I just have to decide if I want the plain or the button model. I won't be able to get it til later in the summer, so I am really looking forward to your review.

Oh, what model bike are you putting it on? Also, when you do get it installed on the bike, could you post a good number of pics from different angles (ie: head on, side top, etc...)? Thanks!

Cheers!

Ryan when I bought the Mustang for my old Dyna I was impressed that they gave me 10 days to try it

I have been pimping BAR Enterprises since I got here! They make a great seat and you will not be disappointed. I have their Dyna solo seat with Millenium foam and marine vinyl. It fits my bike perfectly.
