Looking for opinions, advice, options and or ideas concerning a new seat for my '98 Standard. I currently (10 years) have a Corbin studded seat with pillion pad on the like. I love(d) the seat for many years but I have 2 bum hips (both will be replaced in the coming years), and the width of the seat is the problem. I am not in any discomfort when I am cruising along (feet on the forward pegs), but it really irritates my hips when I am in stop and go situations. I took my brothers Harley for a long cruise in the fall and had no pain at all. I am convinced that the width of the seat (specifically where it supports the hip area) is the problem. I have web searched different seats for the Valk, and can only come up with Saddlemans One Piece (Profiler). My problem with the Saddleman Profiler is it's material, it's not leather. I have always enjoyed the studs on the Corbin and along with the matching studded saddlebags.
I guess I am wondering if anyone has similar discomfort and if anyone has any experience with the Saddlemans. Thanks in advance.
