I think its been mentioned a couple times that Reno Triumph has a seat they sell from Mustang seats. Does anyone have a picture of it and/or what it costs? I have looked at both Mustang Seats website and Freedom Cycles website and can't find any information at all.

Your in luck! Just took delivery of my seat from Freedom Cycles in Reno. It's actually a Saddlemen Seat. They have some kind of contract with Saddlemen to make these seats exclusively for Freedom Cycles. I tryed ordering on straight from Saddlemen, but they wouldn't do it. As for the seat itself, it's a very good quality seat. It's a little on the firm side, but I'd imagine with time and some leather conditioner it'll break in nicely. I'll go out and take a few pics and try to upload them sometime tonite. The other perks on the seat are better back support and it moves you a little closer to the controls. The only things I don't like is it sets a little higher than the stock seat. Maybe a 1/2" higher or so. I'm only 5'6" so I definitely noticed with my short legs. For 2 up riding it's also ideal, my wife didn't like the stock pillow pad at all. I took her on a short ride and she definitely could tell a difference. To be honest, I like the looks of the Corbin better, but they can take their prices and shove them where the sun doesn't shine!

Try this, here's a pic. I can't figure out how to upload a photo into these forums

Thanks for the info guys. I just might do that. I have the Triumph touring seat. I took the GF for a 250 mile ride Saturday, it is the longest she has ridden with me and it is the first time she has complained about the seat, so I am thinking about other options.
