Anyone have the 1125 seat made by Baldwin?

I can find a link to the page if need be.

While I have no seat time on a Baldwin, they do appear to be very well made, and my parking lot test tells me that it is comfortable. If I didn't have a touring seat already, I would of bought a Baldwin.

got one for a road trip to Colo last month.... 3500miles later and I can honestly say they are awesome. lots of padding compared to stock. At first I was a little worried about moving around and hanging off when cornering with all the extra padding but I got used to it pretty quick

customer service is top notch

I love the way they look!

Does it add height or change the riding position? I have tail bone problems so I try to keep the tailbone off the seat at all times.

They are hand made so if you need something specific in terms of height, it can probably be done. You might be able to get them to make it with a "butt channel" so the pressure is on your cheeks and not your tailbone.

Thats a pretty cool seat

Truthfully the stock seat allows my tailbone to be off the seat enough where it doesnt bother me at all.

I was curious if the baldwin is more angled back or is the same contour of the stock just with more padding.

that seat in froggy's pic shows essentially what Al @ American Sport Bike is working on... I think from saddlemen, specific for our 1125. He was showing me a prototype a few weeks ago and said the channel makes a huge difference

I have one in vinyl/carbon with the gel insert and I can attest that it is EXCELLENT, both for comfort and function.
