    RF900 Corbin seat wanted

    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.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    +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

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

    Really? And you had the Sargent seat CUSTOM SHAPED to your arse?

    Thought not.

    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.

    RF seat

    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.
