Default Need new Bones seat
I've been looking at a chopper/bobber seat for the bones. I want a new seat but do not want to mess up my Ole school look. The stock seat rides Ok, but it looks to thick (heavy). Do I just go out and buy the the Standard 25 seat or try something different? Comments please. thanks

the 1925 seat is superb coyote...... after the stock seat i went with a larosa seat and it just aint comfy......then i got the chance of this seat second hand from cnumb and i love it......the look.....the comfort......the quality and the price ($100 2nd hand) suits the bike down to the ground and i will never change it.

I found the 25 seat to be real comfy too. I only sold it because I went with a custom seat which, BTW, is not as comfortable as the 1925.

Here is another vote for the "25"
IMO it looks and feels better than the stocker
I am expecting a new custom seat from Shaun @ sokustom...
I might have one that you can try....

The 25 is so much better than stock. I think it will compliment your set up nicely.

I guess I'm buying a 25. Thanks for all the input.


Cheesecake, let me know on the decision about your seat, I'm interested. Riding is coming to an end in CNY, so I'm in no hurry. Thanks

...another endorsement for the 1925. The seat should have been standard equipment.

Shaun at SOKUSTOM covered my stock pillion to match! The seam on the stock cover used to cut into Wifey's legs. Shaun was able to move the seam so it is much more comfy now...
