[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 575166, member: 3828"] I bought my '05 used. It came with a Corbin Canyon (aka brick). I bought a pair of stock seats on eBay and I was actually more comfortable with that than the Corbin. I then bought a Corbin modular from another guy on the forum. That was an improvement over the Canyon, but still rather, erm... stiff. Both Corbins set me slightly lower than the stock seat. Next I bought a used Rick Mayer dual seat in vinyl. It raised me higher than the stock seat by about 1" which I didn't find objectionable, but it also slid me into the tank. So I sent my stock seats to Russell to have them reworked. I only had the front seat dished out with the rear seat just being recovered to match. I chose full leather covers and a half moon stitch pattern. I also did send it back once and had them scoop out more foam in the rear to give me a deeper "pocket" in the back so I would not slide up on the tank. It originally raised me about the same as the Rick Mayer, but after the extra scooping, it has either broken in more or I no longer notice the height. The Russell seats are aptly named. I can ride all day on this seat, day after day, with no butt problems whatsoever. 1st gen seat, full leather, Half moon pattern. The leather is actually black. The shine of the leather in this photo just makes it look gray: [IMG]https://inlinethumb63.webshots.com/42302/2339826280098858932S500x500Q85.jpg[/IMG] PS - that seat on the BMW in the background is about a 45 minute seat... ;) [/QUOTE]
