Touring seat
What aftermarket seat do you have on your bike. How comfortable is it compared to other brands/styles?

On our previous bikes, I had Corbin, and Chris had Sargent. They were both very different, but good in their own ways. The Sargent was very thickly padded - very soft. For me, it made his bike a little too high and wide for me, but he's taller than I am, so he loved it. My Corbin, on the other hand, was very firm and molded, and the longer I had it, the more it shaped to my butt (kinda like a pair of comfy jeans), so it fit me great.
From my understanding, Sargent can custom tailor a seat to your height, weight and needs. |

i had a corbin on the rc and it was ok, but it was harder then the stock one, my recommendation is put some sort of gel pad down on the seat so it can be removed when twisties are ahead, i had a hard time hanging off of the touring seat to justifiy having it, then again, i am known for knee draggin' a fully loaded rc with tail, saddle and tank bags

I will probably pick up a Suzuki gel seat this winter.
Some say it is better than the Corbin or Seargant for half to a quarter of the price. BTW, it wasn't tigger.
