Getting ready to order one. Price and styling are better than corbin imho. It does look like it doesnt allow you to sit as far back. Anyone have experience with one at the track? Hard to tuck or hang off? Also, thinking I might save some coin and skip the gel but would that effect stability when hanging off? Oh and much lower than stock? Xb12ss

I believe Loren will build the seat to any configuration you want, I'd suggest contacting him.

With my limited experience with the aftermarket's seat offerings is that they are made for the rider that does a lot of riding, as in street riding. The saddle (for me) is too square for the aggressive transitions of body position. Tucking in isn't an issue. Good thing is though, it's not permanent, you can have two saddles, a custom one for the street, and the stocker for the track.

Hmm... the Corbin looks a little less aggressive of a bucket but I really like the Baldwin's styling (and the price).

Thing is, I do some longer rides and the stocker is terrible although I ride almost as aggressively (body position wise, obviously not as quick otherwise) on the street as I do out at the track...

You REALLY need to contact Loren.
He WILL make the seat to your specs. Very good quality, and his customer service is A1!

Thanks, in communication with Loren.

Thinking if he just moves the back support section a bit further back (more along where the small support section is on the stocker) then we should have a good package for my application.

Now just to decide whether to get the gel pad or not. Pricey seat and I am sure the baseline is WAY better than stock.
