Aftermarket seats for steelies

Post by madmcnish »

Does anyone make them?
I'm looking for a higher, flatter more modern shaped seat.
I feel like I'm sitting 'IN' the bike at the moment rather than 'ON' it.
'95 CR500 (which my partner doesn't know about!)
'00 Husaberg FC600
YEEEEHHHA!

One way is to roll your own.

That is what I love about these bikes. I feel there is much more control to be had sitting "IN". Maybe its because I've ridden 90's hondas my whole life, but I think they're easier to hang onto and have more of a sweet spot. I rode on a factory flat seat one time - whuddnt no fuuuuun.
I'd rather be hauling ass
