FIRST Hartco Seat for an F6B!

[timjoebob]

In 2013, when I purchased the bike, I immediately called Mark . They made the best seat I've ever ridden when I had my 2005 Gold Wing, but didn't make a seat for the F6B (since it was so new). Mark said to check back with him, which I did in November, 2015.

I guess I nagged him enough, because he agreed to make the very first Hartco seat for me if I would send him a seat pan from a stock seat. I bought a used stock seat and sent it to him in late-Nov/early Dec.

Today, I am happy to say I have the first Hartco Seat made for a F6B!

I haven't ridden on it long enough to give you a long-term report.

Looks sharp!

Did it keep your butt about the same spot? Higher? Lower? More forward? Back?

Sorry... I forgot to mention the riding position: about a 1/2" higher than stock and about the same position forward and aft.

Seat looks very nice. Is that Velour? My Corbin seat is done completely in Velour.

Also, I know I have seen them before on here , but would you tell me what those black patches are on the sides of the faux tank.

Yep, velour. The sun on it made the photos look weird, but it's very plush. Better than vinyl or leather IMO... not as hot in hot ridng weather and not as cold on cold days, too.

On the side of my center panel are "tank protectors." I wear riding pants and my knees sometimes rub and can cause scratching. No more.

I know, my Corbin is entirely covered in velour.

Where did you get the tank protectors?

You guys have velour issues.

Is that (velour) waterproof?

Nope. He does sell raincovers for his seats.
