    Hi all,

    Honda do not make an e seat for pre 08 Blades. I want a custom seat for my bike, have looked at Saddlemen, Corbin and Sargeant.

    Any others I could look at ? also any plus or minus comments on the three manufacturers would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Some places will fit a gel insert into the original seat for you mate. Can't remember the name of a particular company, but they tend to be at the bike shows.

    Hope this helps

    Saddlemen are brilliant, I had my old CBR600 seat re-done and the workmanship was top notch.

    The prices aren't too bad dependant on the complexity of the design you want.

    I had 3 colours in mine and a custom logo and I paid just over £110 including P&P both directions.

    Thanks Colin and Merlin. I want a more unique look rather than comfort, but it must also be functional.

    I did read a couple of negative reviews on the fit of saddlemen, but then there were a lot of positive ones as well.

    I have two Luimoto covers but take note they are just covers, speedycom.co.uk have just become uk dealers but IMO its cheaper to buy direct from what I saw with the trade price list! Also my 848 cover is a little slippy but looks cool!

    I've got a Corbin fitted to my RR6 much more comfortable on a long journey than the original!

    I bought an unused ripped seat from fleabay, £6.
    Then I had it recovered in alcantara and carbon leather with embroidered lettering for £100, and a gel pad inserted.
