FS: Bill Mayer custom saddle (for 6'+ rider) ... offers? (SOLD!)

[SoloTSi97]

Like the Corbin, these things are expensive new. I have no idea what to expect for one used. It's a leather solo saddle, no wear that I can find ... it really does look perfect. I put a couple pictures I already had in a photoshop album, I can take closer ones if someone wants 'em.

The seat came on my XX when I bought it. It was custom made for the previous owner, who is (I would guess) about 6'2". I'm just a hair under 6', and it worked okay for me with helibars (which weren't on the bike when I bought it). If you're much under 6', I don't think it would be very comfortable.

I've never ridden an XX with a stock seat, but I have sat on a couple. I find this seat to be much more comfortable (based on that limited basis for comparison), it doesn't force the jewels into the tank at all like the stock one tends to (IMHO).

Here's a pic of it on my bike: http://api.photoshop.com/home_3850ece78748...170c3e7e0d3411a

I might be intrested. Some more pics would be nice and what are you going to replace it with if you don't mind me asking?

Bring it to NEXXT, and you'll probably find a buyer, as well as a possible trade (plus or minus cash.)

That's not a bad idea. You have a PM, too.

Oh well.. it was inevitable. The only question was: Who will buy it first... Joe or Bowen?

When I head out at lunch, I'll take snap a few pics with my phone. If those turn out like ass, I'll take some with a real camera when I get home after work. I just bought a Corbin Gunfighter/Lady, which is more for the wife than myself. As this seat is designed as a solo seat, it's not terribly comfortable for 2-up riding (which we've been doing a lot more of recently). If it weren't for the frequent passenger, I wouldn't be replacing it.

Unfortunately, I can't make NEXXT. But, that's a great idea ... if I still have it then, I'll see about sending it with one of the local guys who I'm sure are headed up.

To those that sent PMs, I'll be in touch.

Here are a few more pictures. In one of them, I tried to show why I think it is a better fit for a tall rider ... the "saddle" is farther away from the tank than stock, based on my limited experience with a stock seat. Without helibars, if I sat in the "saddle", I was stretching too far for the bars. With helibars, it's better but I'd still prefer to sit a little closer to the tank. I talked with the previous owner about the seat when I bought the bike, and he pointed out that he had the seat made this way to make it more comfortable for him (given his longer reach).

At this point, I have had several PMs on the seat. The first (and one other) were for $200 and I pay to ship the seat. Honestly, that's about what I was hoping to get for it since it's about in line with what a Corbin sells for and this could be a better fit for a tall rider. If the first offer falls through, I'll go down the line in the order that I received PMs. I have no desire to start a bidding war, I'm just trying to cover part of my Corbin.

Thanks to all for your interest.
