s pegs drop your feet an inch. It feels like a lot more than that on the bike.

The firebolt seat is as comfy as any rock or brick, especially if you are doing serious miles. Mines good for about 1 hr!

I like my Corbin. I've done a 200 mile day without the dreaded monkey butt.
I got mine through Al at American Sport Bike.

I don't know if the select seat the factory offers is better than stock, or maybe
sargeant or mustang does an upgrade?

My son seems pretty happy with the select pillion seat so far.

Thought I would just hijack this thread to say that I love your signature Diablobrian. I'm with you man. The only thing that worries me is that I have to train at the gym for another 20 years so I can slap around any of those little bastages that want to hang around MY little girl!

Oh yeah, I just did a S to R back to S conversion. Looks just like an S. Took no time at all!!

Apparently the select seat is way better from what I have heard.

I do one big tour every year and that stock seat on a 800 mile day is a killer.

I have the "Buell" seat *(has the red logo on it) on my 12R. That seat is very, very comfortable. Only drawback is that it raises the seat height a couple of inches. For some of us those inches make a big difference. I am thinking of going back to the stock seat for around town riding.
