Default Alternative Crossbones seat

This new custom seat for Harley-Davidson Crossbones is an all leather direct bolt on application. It uses all the original OEM hardware & springs. Lowers the seat height by 2 inch and has built-in curve for back support, with a base made from nine-gauge steel. Black with gray top stitch. Custom colors & hand tooling upon request.

no modding needed. considering that a corbin seat cost $400 this aint a bad idea

Surely not a bad idea considering the cost of the Corbin. Besides the fact that you get to keep the springer seat style which looks cool on the overall style of the Xbones. I saw a bike with Corbin seat on it and it looks quite comfy though. It changes the look of the bike a bit but I think that it would add comfort to the ride and it makes it a lot lower. The owner said: "I am getting a feeling that I am into the bike rather than on it with a less wobbly feeling that I used to get from the stock seat." It seems to me like a good point especially with the springer in the front, you could be wobbling too much

Why would you pay double the price for a seat with an uncomfortable ridge down the middle?

Crazy....That's what I was thinking too. That ridge looks uncomfortable for a ride longer than 20 miles.
