Author Message   C818919 Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 02:14 pm:        baldwin vs saddlemen sound off   Northernthunder Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 02:41 pm:        I have Baldwin seats on both bikes and am very satisfied with them. both have the gel inserts. that being said I have not tried the saddleman for comparison.   Trbulnt Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 03:19 pm:        Saddlemen is outstanding. Completely changed my feeling for riding the bike. So much more enjoyable now.   Syonyk Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 03:29 pm:        Hm... While people are discussing them... The stock seat isn't terribly comfortable for longer touring. What's a good "I'm going to be doing a few 500 mile days in a row" seat option?   C818919 Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 03:41 pm:        That's why I was asking syonyk...   Pnw_uly Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 04:26 pm:        Semi-related. . . Bought a Corbin for the CR, about a week before Al and JoAnne premiered their new seat at American Sport Bike. . . which has the gel seat option that definitely looks long-tourer friendly. My Corbin works well for me - - but wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for OEM if the goal is long distance riding - - but have done 500 miles days on each OEM and Corbin, the Corbin is better... Just might be worth checking American Sport Bike for your needs. . .   Syonyk Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 04:44 pm:        That's why I was asking syonyk... Fair, though you didn't state your goals - for all we know, you were asking about how they were for trackday seats.   C818919 Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 06:00 pm:        northernthunder...tell me more about the baldwins...maybe even a pic? of the under side too?   Jimmyb152 Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 02:49 pm:        I love my Baldwin, got gel insert as well. I had no choice, Baldwin's my last name   Dannybuell Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 04:01 pm:        I have had my Saddlemen for a month or two now and center gap keeps me happy. There is a familiar bump on I-5, first time with the new seat, it absorbed the bump! My lower anatomy seems happier with that channel. The Saddlemen seat pan is extremely well made, the carbon seat and tail cover quality is excellent.   Trbulnt Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 04:07 pm:        Just some pics of the Saddleman. Pretty sure you can't go wrong with either brand seat. I am a huge fan of the center channel as well.   Northernthunder Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - 11:28 pm:        The Baldwin uses your factory seat pan so no worries about fit up. I put in a few 600 mile days last summer with no troubles. The saddleman looks good as well, I don't think you can go wrong either way.   Dennis_c Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 01:32 pm:        whats the center channel for to let the gas out you know it will be noiser that way and bad for the people around you.   Dannybuell Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - 01:54 pm:        Dennis_c ~ fart channel...LOL. The channel is supposed to keep the blood supply going to your weiner happy.
