Jose, im 340 myself and I have had my Hartco seat on my RSV now since 2003. Pretty comfy but I have not had the occasion to compare it to any other seat. I have been looking for a Corbin for no other reason but to try one but my Hartco still works well for me. Just giving you another option. I also have the backrest, which I would never do without.

Well Jose,

 

If you choose Russell Day Long, Rick Mayer, or Bill Mayer, you will have to send your seats to them because they use the seat pan and in some cases, some of the foundation foam. However, the Ultimate, Mustang and some of the others build their own pans for their seats.

 

And if the seat you have now is the one in your pictures, I think you already own one of the Corbins made for the Yamaha Royal Stars. If this is true, I probably can't help you much since I have swore off making changes to the Corbin foundation foam. The covers on the Corbin have a mind of their own on how they fit to the foundation foam.

 

Wish I could hel you,

 

Rick

 

 

This has been an issue for me since I purchased the bike in feb of 2011. the seat is just unbearable. I was planning on sending it to Butler to have it modded but the owner before me made some mods to the seat pan.

Time has come( Tax return and bonus season) to set my sights on an aftermarket seat that will be comfortable for my wife and I.

We dont do extensive trips but we dont want to hurts after 100 miles. I would like to ride 400 and not think twice about riding again the following day.

 

Id liek some pros and cons from those that have Mustang, Corbin, Ultimate and although russel day long doesnt have one currently for the 96 rstc Id still like some feedback

 

as it is now I am turning away from corbin because I have sat on a few and the seat I found very hard, although no soreness. i still would like someting a lil plush.

Mick,

 

Check out a sheared Alaskan sheepskin butt pad.....that will help your seat breath.

I'm sort of a small guy about 5'6" and 185 lbs. Didn't care that much for my stock pillow-top seat when I bought the bike, so I sent it to Rick Butler to work his magic. I never felt any butt burn with the stock seat, it just never felt comfortable. After getting it back from Rick, I can ride all day with no issues. Actually the only shortcoming I've found with the seat is on hot day's it's warm and the ol' butt sweats a bit. This is only a minor complaint and probably the only way to address it is switching to a cloth seat, and I'm not interested in doing that.

Jose,

 

I just remembered another seat option that you might consider....and that is a 1997 to 2001 Royal Star Tour Deluxe set of seats. They only made these seats for the early TDs which were a much wider saddle from the other early Royal Stars. And these seats rework very nicely and will mount on your bike with no modifications.

 

And I know there are some folks here who have this bike where you can check out their pictures.

No clue. Looks like you have to call them for a price.
