doesn't look that comfy where do you park "the boys"? looks like they's slide forward easy...

rick mayer seat?

Sargent.

dunno who made it but i'm guessing it was made for Mama Cass but the order must have been canceled coz she had a fastback??

Stevie Wonder

Could that be a Day-long?

Wow, I don't think my feet would even reach the ground with a saddle like that – Tallie McTallperson?

What happened to stepped saddles is what I want to know ...

Is it a new one from Corbin?
The "Corbin fatfighter" !!!!

Ya know there's a song that says 'To be happy for the rest of ya life, make and ugly woman you wife. That King/Queen seat was first kind I bought and loved its cushioning across THE Gravel and long distance, yum. Only real issue is cold rain collects in groin area riding and will get sliced at Norton rally's but can replace with brick or cafe seat till out of sight for sweet ease. Definitely looks almost as inviting to women as real Hogs. I'll put mine on Mz Peel for extra rubbing nose at sportbikes passed. Forgot the manufacturer. Mine has the stamped in squares like factory seats not the raised checker board which looks a bit snazzier.

Old Corbin? Is the seat base light green?

Btw I believe its more us skinny tall nil flesh rumps not muscular-fleshy/fat butts that most appreciate the shock cushioning spread of pressure points. I've put few 100 miles on the slick Corbon seats to be glad to get out of them but love seeing on others knowing what they put up with there and often wear back packs not to ruin the rear view of cafe Commando lines, which I like to see, just not for me. Ugh wouldn't even have a rump if not for my wallet and big clip knife.

Occurred to me might be fun to send a big saddle around for naysayers to try then try to get it back, especially after your gals try it.

Hobot; no room for the mrs on your back seat, or she's a really slight build, probably close enough you can hear her beathing, "stop this bike i want off now..." or does she tap you on the shoulder politely when its time to turn?

My wife is smart as she's attractive seeing me so often injured will only ever ride with me after I fit a side car. Its only strange women I can't have or children or rescuing bikers that might sit in back. Face it us Brit bikers are mostly solo compared to about any other type cycle-dom

Your joke is almost exactly what Wesly told me happened as he tried to get his wife road wise on a big Bergman scooter, she took right off fast into steep descending chiances so Wes yelled at her to slow down but she turned around to argue with him she was in control and stop telling her what to do, with Wesly's speechless/wide eye's only able to grab her helmet to turn back to road and hold it there a bit with her struggling. Just imagine how long it took him at home to get that she was only trying to show him how capable she was to be let loose ...

Seriously the present owner doesn't like the hog saddle so someone buy it cheap to send around for a humor trophy and ride impression feedback. I can't believe all the cafe's hardly ever ride to use/need full tucked down strained racer style in public so when not at rallys, why not configure for old fart daily ease. It does add to the sleeper clunker surprise with moderns thinking they can't dust off a Commando w/o tucking down racer strained. I was too newbie to know better at first - thinking my accidental Combat Commando find was juat poor mans HD but pleased in the end.

That's a Russell Day-Long.

Some of the Russel seats have smaller 'wings' and don't look too garish.

Mama Cass?, Corbin Fat Fighter?, You guys can be mean. It's a good thing that I already know that I'm fat or I could have really been hurt. lol.
Since we have 2 winners (concours & Esmerela) I have decided to double the prize.
It was built by the original owner of Russel Day Long Saddles in the late 90's. He built it on an Interstate seat base that I provided him. He welded steel wings on to the stock seat base. He would not build a seat unless you sent him a picture of yourself sitting on the bike in riding position and stated your height and weight. This was done to establish the angle of your upper leg to eliminate hot spots. Your weight is shared between your butt and your legs. He guaranteed "no hot spots" and would take the seat back and modify it if it wasn't right. I received my seat, threw on a sheepskin, and then left for the west coast on a 10 day trip. It was perfect. It is by far the most comfortable seat I have ever had. Back then 500+ mile days were the norm with a few 800 or 900 mile days thrown in for fun.

okay so whats the prize????, just want to know what the winners got...

See original post.

The most comfortable Norton seat for me, and generally the most comfortable seat on any of my bikes is the OEM Commando fastback seat. Any seat that holds me in one location is uncomfortable after an hour or two.
