Default Bandit seat

Got a new seat for the Bandit today, after a lot of research I decided that I would try the Holeshot Corbin seat.

After talking to Dale at Holeshot I found that he had bought one of the standard Corbin seats for his 1250 Bandit because he had had good luck with Corbin seats on other bikes he had owned, but he wasn't happy with the seat he got, the problem was the Corbin seat set him further back than the stock Suzuki seat, (he's 5ft 9in same as me) and to make things even worse, his wife complained that her part of the Corbin seat was even smaller than the stock Suzuki seat, so he made a deal with Corbin to have them modify his seat to his liking, and make future seats for him that he could sell under the Corbin Holeshot name.

He said he had them move the rider further forward making the passenger seat larger, and dishing out the rider part of the seat so that there was support for more of your seating area, all this sounded like just what I have found to work good for me on other bikes, so I ordered one of his seats,

All I can tell so far is that shipping was fast, and the new seat fit right on the bike just like the stocker, it felt good sitting on it in my driveway, but I haven't had a chance to try it out past that yet.

I'll give a full ride report just as soon as I get a chance.
