How will my bike look with XXX seat?

***PICTURE REQUEST***

I'm thinking about a new seat one day and I'd like to get an idea how different seats will look actually installed, since some websites don't show their product installed.

Here's how to play this game: Post up a picture of a Norton with a seat on it (most have them, right?). Then list the year/type and what kind of seat it is.

I'll get the ball rolling:

75 MKIII Roadster, stock seat - LIke Old Britts square top gold logo part # 06-5612

I'm too much of a Luddite to be able to post a digital pic, but I run a Corbin seat on my 73 850 and I like the looks and the comfort. Corbin has good pics of the Commando seats, and all their seats, on their website. I have a "gunfighter" seat in black leather with a "goldenrod" colored welt. The colors work well with my black-with-gold pinstripes (stock) color scheme.

By the way, my wife has a Corbin "smuggler" seat on her Bonnie and it is fantastic. They matched the paint unbelievably well - there is NO difference between the bike and the painted "hatchback" portion of the seat. Handy little glove compartment in there too, although fairly small. Think if I was doing it over again I'd get the smuggler seat for the Commando for the sheer utility of it, although I think the gunfighter looks better on the Commando.

I was always partial to the 69/70 'S' and Roadster lower profile seat.

Or if you want to I can Photoshop any seat onto your bike so you can see what it looks like.

Apparently Corbin is adjusting their marketing to reflect the shifting demographics in the classic bike scene.

I've done that, but it doesn't give you a true to scale fit.

LOL Fastback. Looks comfy! Does that come in red velvet? 8)
