I had a Mustang seat in the '80's, it was one of the most comfortable seats I've sat on.what about a mustang seat?anyone have any experience with a mustang,I have a chance to get a mustang with drivers backrest?
Hey Brojees, does the seat have the velour covering? Does it appear to be holding up well?
Reason for asking is that I have been conversing with TravelCade regarding a Road Sofa for my 84 Aspy. I am looking at either velour or leather. I am going to get the driver back rest for sure and also the optional passenger back cover for the trunk. All together the velour will run $485 and the leather will run $615. They are currently sending me fabric samplesof the velours and leathers so that I can pick my colors. I like the gel pads in these seats. They seem like they would be really comfortable on long rides. I can't wait to get something new. I would love to take a long ride but can't becausemy seat is so uncomfortable.
My concerns arethat the velour will break down and fall apart. Do you or does anyone else have any personal experiences to share on this?
I am also looking at possibly building my own seat. Travelinmays is sending me a spare seat that I am going to install gel inserts into and re-foam with memory foam and then have upholstered.
I am looking at a travelcade seat on ebay to fit my 76 1000,anyone have any experience with these seats or opinions on them for touring?
Let me know when you're coming. We can go have some pancakes!!!!:goofygrin:As soon as I get my front forks back together, I will be over your way and you can see.
Might be a wee bit more information than needed, ugh! Nasty mental images!:barfer:The fabric keeps the butt sweat down and I do not suffer from the butt pimples you get from excessive sweat.
I don't know how well it holds up on a bike, but my 1990 Dodge truck with 200,000+ mileshas avelour seat and it's in excellent condition. It looks almost like it did when I bought the truck, sure wish I did.My concerns arethat the velour will break down and fall apart.

Look carefully at the Leg Room issue. Where Corbin has it's supposed advantage is where the riders hips would be. So I believe that advantage to be nullified. I would like to try a Corbin, but doubt it will beat my Sofa.Cannot decide here. I am looking at 3 options. I am considering building my own seat but am also considering purchasing a new seat. I cannot decide between the RoadSofa and the Corbin

I really like the looks of the Corbin better than the RoadSofa, but I am going for comfort not just looks. Both seats look rather nice. (I do like the backrest on the Corbin better than the RoadSofa though. I feel that it offers the passenger far more leg room.)
Does anyone have experiences with both types of seats where they can offer an honest opinion as to whichis the overall better seat? Which one has the better feel? Which one offers the most support for long rides?
Should have thought about butt sweat more.1984GL1200A wrote:I don't know how well it holds up on a bike, but my 1990 Dodge truck with 200,000+ mileshas avelour seat and it's in excellent condition.
