    Many people don't like them and talk bad about them, but while I was in Daytona, I went by Corbin office and they custom designed a seat for my Valkyrie. I got the Gunfighter with distressed leather in the seat with diamond stich, CF panels on the side, they moved me back and up and added wings on the side (kind of like the Russell Day Long) all for the price of a stock seat right out of the warehouse--- $453 delivered to my house 2 1/2 weeks later.

    Ultimate king

    If i catch you correct you tried a ultimate goldwing seat. I have the king for my f6b and love it. The stock seat is sealed and doesn't breathe. On a hot day it was sweaty. The king is great but plan on a taller shield, my 6'1 frame must have a 16 inch klockwerks and I modded it to go up another inch on long trips.

    They are telling me the GW and F6B seats are the same. It also measures about the same as the stock seat for rearward room (that is how far back you can sit). Wish I was close enough to you to throw a leg over your seat. Sounds like you are telling me it moves you taller? Guess I'll find out about sweaty this summer. Got the bike in December so no hot weather yet. Thanks for your response.

    I don't know who "they" are, but the GL1800 and the F6B saddles are very much different. I can't set on a GL saddle comfortably(to small) with my 6'5" 36" inseam sized frame, but can set for a short while on the F6B saddle, but it is still to low for me and why I use and promote the custom made Russel Day-Long as the one and only saddle for my tender ass.

    OK I understand the RDL is the seat I may need. If in leather and ultra support with shipping we are talking over $1100. Plus I lose my stock seat.

    So your ass is tender? At least you have one, mine is the only part of me that is skinny. Guess its a neutral gender ass.
