Looking to finally start my Super Valk conversion...have everything but the solo driver's seat. I called Ultimate today and it's a 9-10 week build time...ouch! We all know how hard it is to find a used one. The only other option I'm aware of is a Russell Day Long, but don't particularly care to shell out 600 bucks for just a driver's seat. Anybody aware of any other options out there.

Any saddle made for a Standard or Tourer will fit your Interstate with just a bit of scrunching at the nose.  If the little bit of scrunching is too much for you it can be eliminated by removing some of the padding at the rise in the nose.

Any saddle for the Standard or Tourer that doesn't have the rising nose will fit.  Mustang comes to mind and I, believe, Corbin.

I'm assuming that includes the stock 2000+ OEM too? May give that a try. Thanks

Yes, but in the former category.  The 2000+ OEM will give you a little scrunch unless you remove a bit of padding from the nose.

Looks like the 2000+ OEMs are going for more than I thought. I think I'll just wait on an Ultimate.

Put a WTB in the classifieds section. You should be able to pick a good one up pretty cheap.

It appears that saddle is available new for about $116 including shipping.

Hmm....cheaper than the used saddles I saw. Not bad.
