which one?
I like the look of the sport seat, but I could use the one inch drop of the touring. The back end of the touring looks a little ugly.
I was hoping that corbin would have one out by now.
no such luck. Are there any other companies that make seats for buells???

I've been waiting for the new two-color saddle since the day it was announced. It doesn't seem to be available yet.

If they make a 2 color saddle for the Ss that has the SAME construction as the stock, I'll be all over it. Not quite sure why everyone's interested in switching Long seats, though... I've had mine going on 8 months, and I STILL can't get over how comfy the gel is!

The construction is different, but I understand it's still a gel-seat like stock. I'll know for sure when the damn thing finally comes in!

I agree, the seat is very comfortable, one of the most comfortable stock seats I've seen in a long time. I just think that two-tone sport saddle looks AWESOME!

If worst comes to worst, I can use the sport seat for "Profiling" and the standard saddle for trips. I did something similar with my old M2 Cyclone. I did solo trips on my two-tone Corbin gunfighter saddle, but when I rode two-up I'd just put the stocker back on. It's not like there's major surgery involved in the switch!

Jaimec, when it does come in, lemme know how well it matches the Sunset Orange. It doesn't look very close at all on the site, but I know better than to trust internet pics for real-world colors.
