Select seat from Buell is a good one.

Depends...do you need to keep the "Cg" part of "SCg"? Or do you just need something soft and comfy? If you need the lower seat height, you could try a Corbin for any of the S models (other than Ss), or maybe even a stock seat from an older XB9SL. If you're ok height-wise, I'd second the Buell Select seat.

The Select seat will raise your ride height on a Low model. About 1/2" to an 1" for sure. I bought the Select to replace my Low, hard as a metal pan, seat. I tippy toe without the riding boots. I'm 5-8.

The only difference in the 08s are inside the engine, ecm & wiring harness. Frame and subframe are still the same.

All the XBS seats (9S, 9SL, 9SX, 12S, 12Scg,) are interchangeable.

I have the select seat on my cg as well and it is a huge improvement.

I purposely went with the cg just so I could have a nice cushy seat and still touch both feet down easily on the gravely stuff. But now that I don't frequent the gravely stuff much any more I'm considering a change to the standard height suspension. (I don't need to be flat footed on asphalt).





The Select pictured looks much higher than the cg but it squishes down a bit when you sit on it.
It is firm without being hard. It's great for many long miles.

Why not the Corbin for the Ss Ratbuell? Is it the one seat that does not work well from them? I am considering the Corbin Gunfighter & Lady Long seat.

the Ss is longer, so the seat isn't the same on the Ss as the S, Scg, SL, Sx.
