limpy88 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Got my first bit of corners with fj. Notice the factory seat flexes alot under my tall fat ass. So while im moving around the rear tab pops in and out quite a bit. I getting a aftermarket seat. The corbin looks ugly but they are 1 piece, so wondering if it will eliminate the issue. What about the terry or sargent being one piece still do the same? Has anyone else had the issue as well, does an aftermarket seat fix the issue? I keep mine in the high position.

new1709rider Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I haven't noticed my Corbin seat doing any moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinsv Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I have a Sargent seat and have no problem with mine moving. I have noticed that these seats can get locked in not quite right, then they will move around. I think I'd double check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They website wont load for me Two-piece, made on BAGSTER's own bases so you wouldn't have to provide your own. I ordered mine through an Italian m/cycle accessories house called MOTOSTORM - try <motostorm.it>. Current cost appears to be EU297 plus shipping, but non-EU residents don't pay EU VAT (sales tax). Shipped to me here in Oz all-up it cost me $443, = USD$314 if my dodgy arithmetic holds up. Beautifully-made, customisible to some degree, a work of art, and suits my bony ass to a tee!

Wordsmith that is a nice looking seat. Does it help with the sliding into the tank and crushing the family jewels? He who dies with the most toys wins.

I tend to push my ass back towards the rear of the seat, leaving a finger's width between butt and rise of the pillion perch.

wordsmith Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Reminds me of a true occurrence some years ago. Three of us were sitting silently on a bench, idly watching the world go by, bikes parked nearby. Bloke #1. (apropos of nothing at all) - "Just bought a new seat fer me bike". Bloke #2 (after a decent pause) - "'ow wide is it?" Bloke # 1 (another long pause) - "'bout eighteen inches". Bloke # 2 (incredulously, immediately) - "kerrist - woddyer gonna do with yer other cheek?" True tale! Happy days...
