I am looking for a Corbin or Rider seat fro a RF900.
I find the standard seat uncomfortable after about 1 hours riding and the pillion slides forward under braking.

I gather you are looking at second-hand?

Don't waste your time with Corbin.

McDonalds Motor Trimmers in Tauranga will see you right.

Here's their website (http://www.trimit.co.nz/).

+1 re Riffer's comment. It's my Blackbird seat on their web page. Forget about Corbin AND Ian McDonald will build it to exactly your spec. I had mine lowered slightly and reshaped at the front so I could get my feet down properly. The rear was raised 20mm to slightly unbend my wife's legs and it is covered with anti-slip vinyl. Magic:niceone:

Tad expensive isn't it for a re-modeled seat. I paid less for a Sargent seat landed here from the US.

Hey Yod has a Corbin seat from his RF9, give him a PM, I think he is looking to sell it.

Wow, you answer your own questions. Good for you!

So you're telling me that if someone sends a seat to them by courier, it's going to be shaped to fit their arse?

I paid $503 landed, but I'm not sure if they do one for an RF.

Sounds like McDonalds Motor Trimmers in Tauranga will be the best as they make seats to suit you. *I am 6.3" and want a slightly higher seat.

Yep! I actually considered them as an option. Then found a bike like mine for sale with one fitted, so I went and had a look at it. Probably as comfy as, but wasn't what I was after.

Yeah, i'll probably look at a Riderz re-trim but the idea of a Sargent seat is very appealing :blip::D
Had a look at the one for the FZ1 on the website and it looks primo!
