Anyone using the select seat? i have the stock seat on my xb9s and after a few hours of riding my sciatic nerve acts up and im in pain for at least a week (its bad enough i have 1 nut). I was wondering how much more comfortable is the select seat and what evryone is paying for it? I found once place selling it for 172.70 with shipping.
thanks

From what I've heard, it uses a layer of gel similar to what came on my Ss stock. If that's the case, it's MUCH more cushy than the other stockers. I switched to an S tail, so I'm using a "hard" seat now, and there's no comparison...the Ss was waaay softer. On another note though, the Ss gel seat was a rough material, and it held you in place better. Whereas the hard seat, w/ smooth leather allows sliding back and forth much easier.

It's not "soft", per se. I got mine a week or so ago and only have an hour or two on it. But keeping that in mind it's much better than stock, but a nice firm feel. Not cushy at all.

Also since it's a Buell item, it snaps right in place, no need to "adjust" it to fit like the Corbin and others say you have to. I am getting used to the odd construction on the passenger pillion, and it looks to be a little roomier back there as well.

I have the select seat and it is 100 times better than stock. It looks better and it feels WAY better. If you ride any distance then its worth the cost. I will be doing a seattle to northern cali Highway 101 trip in may and let you now on the long distance trip comfort

Ditto what Jasonxb12s said.
The Select seat is the second best thing I've ever gotten for my bike. (the first being different tires)

With that inverted V in the rear section, how does it feel for a passenger?

My wife is small and seems to think it's got more padding than the original seat; she rides with Teknic riding pants with a padded seat area built in so she really can't even feel the V. But it's never going to be a two up touring bike ;)

Looks like a camel toe would fit perfectly in that V!

Seriously, are these seats that one can order from my local Buell dealer, or just from Dave?

Cheers,
