Does anyone have the Firebolt® Custom Seat (below)? If so, tell me what you think. If there is something more comfortable out there please let me know. Thanks!

| I am debating between that one, and the expensive Corbin saddle. Still not sure, but I have the entire winter season to think about it. | |

| Im just going to take my seat to an upholstery shop and have them make my stock seat alot nicer. I'v priced it out and it'll be ALOT cheaper than either of those, and you get more choice in what it look/feels like. | |

| I've yet to meet (see or online) anyone who has got the corbin. I had bad luck trying to buy one. The Buell custom seat just looks like the stock one with extra padding that would only get moulded down after time. I'm not speaking from experience though. I know a few guys have it and like it. Thaloc's idea of taking it to the upholstrey/trim shop for a custom feel and look is a pretty good idea. Thinking of maybe doing that myself. | |

| Well Thaloc, Joshs74nova, if ya'll do that, make sure to look up the fabrics/stuffings and what not they would be using, find out what they have access to and then do your research, find out what is going to hold it's form the longest while being comfy as well. You'd be suprised how often people don't know jack about their own jobs... | |

| My buddy took a gel pad, similar to a bicycle seat pad, and put it on his Yamaha. He said it was comfortable...just a thought. | |

I have one also and I believe it looks better and the comfort factor is incomparable to the stock one.

| yes i bought one this summer and i don't know why i didn't buy it sooner. It is much harder to get the two mounting bolts in the back since the seat is twice the thickness | |

| My bike came with that seat when i bought. I had to change it to the stock seat because I needed the extra inch or two to reach the ground a little better. The comfort of the seats are like night and day... its like sitting on a rock with the stock seat. | |
