    I have read most of the replies in the thread reviewing Corbin/Sargent/Stock and see that most prefer the Sargent, but with that said I am looking at a third option and was wondering if anyone has any experience with CMSEATS.co.uk

    So I have been searching for a few weeks now for a new seat, ever since I did a long ride through South Park, CO(my butt still hurts thinking about it)I have a 2010 VFR1200f, stock seat.. Anyway, I have found 3 I thought would work.
    CMSEATS comes highly recommended but is the most expensive with conversion rate

    BASKET STYLE

    Next up is Sargent seats, but the process is a bit more than I thought it would be. sending in my seat for foam upgrading and such

    http://www.sargentcy....ckage-Options/

    Third and final one is the ole faithful Corbin gunfighter & Lady saddle

    http://www.corbin.co.../hvfr10gl.shtml

    any random thoughts would be welcome..

    thanks!

    Why make this so complicated? Just go to a local upholsterer who does motorcycle seats and they'll custom fit the bitch to your ass for the same price as the rest of the one-size-fits-all aftermarket jobbies.

    I think it came out just the way you intended it to.

    For sure.

    The trick is to stop in at your local used motorcycle dealer and ask them who repairs their damaged seats that come in with the trades. You'll never see a damaged seat on the used bikes from any of these dealers who run a real business not out of their garage.

    I did find a shop locally that does motorcycle seats, they come recommended by the dealer who sold me the bike. i am heading over there on Thursday to get a look at their work first hand and go over what I want done to my bike.. Sargent would have been my choice if the turn around wasnt 3 to 4 weeks, that 3 to 4 weeks with no riding, that is not happening during summer months..

    Guess I should have read a little more thoroughly. Didn't realize we were neighbors when I dove into this thread.

    it all works for me, i was happy to see a local business getting a bump.. remember that slogan years ago ABC(Always buy Colorado).. well I rather use local than national retailers.. You have yourself a nice bike by the way..

    I also just updated my info to include some needed information :cool:

    It won't get you anything but please tell Steve that Dave with the yellow VFR sent ya.

    Hope to see you out there on the road. Unfortunately all my riding lately has been commuting and not enough canyon or touring. Welcome to the forum and I look forward to hearing how things go!

    I met up with Steve last week, like his work and he addresses the issue with seats rather than just adding foam where it is not needed.. I am scheduled for the 26th, great price and I love the fact I get to customize the seat the way I want it.. Thanks for the information..

    Hope you'll start a thread with pictures and details on how it goes. I'm interested to see what you guys do with the V12
