I like that seat drey. It looks like the seat from the mean streak. It almost looks like it may push you forward an inch or so though.

If your looking for that type of seat im gonna have to recomend the Mustang Daytripper, similar looking (i think better looking), alot more comfortable and a bit cheaper. I've done full day rides on this seat with no complaints. (not for long distance 2up).

corbin solo pushes you towards the tank, so you won't want that one...

Read the link geoffsimpson posted. There is no M50 seat from Granucci, but the C50 one fits with slight modification. The link has the details of what you can expect.
