I’ve been looking at seats for my 48 over the last month. I have yet to find anything worth anything except a mother road custom’s seat.
They offer a coil spring seat, hair pin seat and a rigid mount seat.
I have yet to find any pics of the rigid mount seat on a 48. Does anyone have one or have a pic of one?
Other than the factory spring seat, a corbin or the above seat, does anyone have any suggestions?
I know there’s been a lot of complaints about the softness/comfort of the factory seat but I have zero issue with the seat, just trying to keep my *** from sliding off. I really need something with some “backing” to it to keep my butt planted.
here's the one i'm runnin. it's a 13.5"x11" west eagle slimline solo with good kickup in the rear. from what i understamd though west eagle went out of business but you can find them on ebay or any reseller that might have stock of them. mount a couple rubber bushings on the rear to soften it a bit, get a clamp or make one for the tank mount and you're done. good luck.
