Sorry if this is an old tread.......been away for awhile and the search engine does not seem to work for me.
I have a Corbin seat which I love, but I am interested in the "lowered" position of the seats from Bret etc. like the ones from Bruiser Custom Cycle. Does anyone have and experience and feedback with these? Thanks.

I think you'll find most people say the BCC seat is nice. Here's the issues:
Great for around town and looks sweet. MOST people are in the opinion that the BCC is not a seat for longer distances. MOST say the seat is a little soft. However, SOME people think it is fine for long distance riding but not many.
I built my own personalized low profile seat I use for tooling around and have the Corbin for long rides. Here's mine for the heck of it.

Yup, ya done good on the seat o' yours Chris. Seeing it again is a real treat. Btw... maybe swap out that zip tie under the seat for a black one. It draws the eye away from the seat, and that can't be good, can it?

Ha Ha. Funny you said that Keith. My Triumph shop zipped that on there a while back. Anywho, about a month ago or so after I built that seat and took that pic, I said to myself, "Ya know Chris, you ought to change out that zip to a black one". Well, I did so no worries now.

Well done... like resolving a minor chord to a major at the end of a piece. Sometimes, it's just the right thing to do!!!

(and for the rest of you that was just a musician to musician thing to say!)

Agreed. However, there are some tunes I love to leave hanging out there without resolution. There's this tune we play in A flat once in a while and the chord structure breakdown is basically... A flat| A flat/G | A flat/F | A flat/D flat |
It's a slower song and the chords are played arpeggio. The way that last chord just hangs is awesome(it's so unsettling)...I think...rather than resolving with the A flat.
