x-lax Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The stock seat on my '99 XX is fine around town, but on trips it actually makes the FRONT of my hips hurt, bad. I am 6'2 and pretty thin, and apparently my ass just wasn't made for that seat. Anyway, I've had good luck with a Corbin before, but I can't stand the thought of losing even a fraction of an inch in the seat height. So, I need a slightly wider seat that maintains the same height. Can you help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4XX Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I am 6'5", running Corbin seat and Buell rider pegs to lower pegs. I can ride all day and walk away without feeling any pain. http://cbr.geckobox.net/forum/viewtopic.ph...ht=lowered+pegs PM me for any details, best 26 bucks I ever spent on a bike part!

x-lax Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 I read about this before, but I'm nervous. I don't want to scrape the pegs any more than I already do-and that ain't much. It unnerves me. Don't the Buell pegs cause you to spark shit more often? or is my geometry just that bad? If thats the only option, then I guess I might take it and get used to it. Otherwise, I was also looking at those 2 seat covers that Aerostich sells. I'd be higher, which I don't want, but its a cheap experiment. Plus, they will inevitabley make the seat wider. I don't fucking know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Corbin can make the seat any height you want, so can Sargeant. I'd suggest exploring your options with the various seat companies before doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 6-2' also I had a gel pad custom made for my stock seat for long trips bought a Corbin later down the road and my seat gel works perfectly with it, it raised the seat height about an inch and a half. The height is very noticable I feel in much better control of the bird in a little higher seat. :wink: Wish I could take some pics for you but my camera got stolen recently. :twisted: Working on getting a new one. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
