my only concern with them would be the gel insert, i am not a large fan of the gel stuff, but the seat looks nice. Looks meatier then the newspeed one or maverick one, let us know how it goes?

got it on bike and rode about 100 miles yesterday. Usually after about 50 miles on the stock solo and gunfighter lower back got to feeling the effects a bit but not so with this seat. It is lower and narrower and stiffer than stock. Felt good to me. Being short I like sitting a bit lower and the narrowness of it. Not many miles yet to get a real good judgement but so far so good.

Hmmm, I'm 6'1" I don't think I could handle a seat any lower and closer to the pegs. Although the gel insert interests me.

IMO I have the Maverick low profile seat I feei I sit lower and and a little further back then the stock seat! Stock seat makes me feel like riding on top of the bike and the low profile makes me feel more into the bike !


Are we there YET? I gotta go pee!! 08 SpeedMASTER, Black and Red!

This is a rather old post, but I am looking to upgrade my seat on my Speedmaster and the one that British Customs builds looks interesting:

http://www.british-customs.com/triumph-america-speedmaster-low-profile-get-seat.html

I have heard from a number of folks who like both the Maverick and Corbin seats, but no one who has purchased the one from British Customs.

Would appreciate any perspectives from others who are using it, and if they would recommend it from a comfort perspective.
