    Yeah, you could. A 'Rider' seat would be better. From what I've heard/read, Corbin's workmanship isn't the best, whereas MacDonalds have got a most excellent reputation.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yeah well my podgy arse got a bit sore on the domain protest ride (no twisties to slide around on the seat) so I might have to look at these 2 options a little closer. $500 plus Gst for a vinyl seat seems a bit steep. Are they really that much more comfortable?
    I follow the 50/50/90 rule.
    Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

    no pics sorry, mrs taken the camera to fleetwood mac, when she gets back maybe. it looks better than the original to me, scalloped so you fit nicely. really comfortable. the seating position is a little bit lower from the scalloping but theres less sliding forward into the tank and the mrs can see a bit more.
    Oh and no more sore arse ever.
    I'm off to the pub, I may be sometime.

    the corbin was cheaper and mcdonalds were quite new back then so didnt really know the outcome would be. where as corbin was quite well known and my opinion the workmanship is great.
