I had the Buell touring saddle on my 04 12R and that seat was very nice. The fit and finish were perfect and the comfort was outstanding. I recommend it highly!

+300 on the Buell touring saddle- miles better than the stocker). Great comfy seat. Only problem is if you are a little short in the leg it'll raise you about an inch. The benefit is the riding position is easier on your knees without having to swap for lower pegs.

I think Marquis de Sade designed the stock R saddle.

I have a Corbin. It is more comfortable on longer rides, you especially notice it after about 2 hours. The edges of the seat are more squared off than the stock seat, so it is not quite as easy to move from side to side as on the stock seat. It also raises you just a bit.

The only real complaint that I have is that the holes in the mounting brackets did not line up with the bolt holes. I had to remove the brackets (they bolt on ) from the seat and elongate the holes with a die-grinder. After that, it worked nicely. With as much as the seat cost, I would have liked for it to bolt straight up, but I am still happy with it regardless.
