seats G2 RSV

[OutlawRider]

I have an 08 RSV G2. It has the stock pillow style seat. I was thinking of putting the RSV seat that is not a pillow. Does anyone know if it is a lower style seat. I only have 30 inch in seam and I have a little trouble sitting on the seat and pushing the bike back any incline. Thanks for the help.

I switched my 99 RSV to a Corbin seat. I have the stock seats, non-pillow top. The stock seat is taller than the Corbin seat. if you go to one of the meet and eats, someone will let you try out their non-stock seat.

Are you referring to the seat that Y used on the midnight bikes? Yes, it will set you a little lower in the bike than the pillow top seat.

You may want to shoot an email to Rick Butler - our resident seat modification expert - and see what he can do. It may be possible to shave some off the sides that will allow you to get you legs on a more direct path to ground.

 

There is a noticable difference in comfort between the stock and pillow top. If you want to change out the pillow top, let me know and I may want to purchase your pillow tops - if the price is right.

 

However, check with Rick first. May be the least expensive, and best, solution.

 

Good luck.

There are a couple of seats just listed in the classified section, one Corbin and one Russel.

That Russel Day Long seat looks interesting. So micko, the seller, is dumping both the Russel and a Corbin Dual Tour seat. I wonder what he's using now.

Since you stated a noticable difference in comfort between the stock and pillow top

which one is the more comfortable for the long haul?

I have read a hard seat allows for you to move around a little more thus a little more comfortable than a soft seat.

 

I have the Rick Butler mod on my pillowtop and he made a big difference in the way it sits for a long day.

 

As always, seats depend on the persons opinion.

if you want .. We can trade the seats incl: the passenger backrest .. I have the Midnight Venture seat with the chrome Studs.
