In the past I have tried Mustang, Air Rider Insearts, HD Sundowner and even my all time favorite best seat ever built the Russell Day Long.

I found out that the only one that worked for myself was the Russell but  since they could only build me a seat off the original Russell pan they could not move me back far enough. So it will not work.

So now I have this beautiful 03 Screamin Eagle and I sit on the OEM seat, hmm I think the seat feels different. Almost comfortable to the butt, but as usuall like the rest of the RK seats that feeling was short lived. After a 90 mile ride I was wimpering like a little girl.

So someone suggested a Butt Buffer Insert, the seat was sent in and was back in a few days. Wow I though this might be it, well almost ! I took a 170 mile ride and half way through the immence pain started again, but I must say it was not as bad as the HD seat.

So now I have this bike and can not really ride it any diistance and I'm out of seat choices. I know that my biggest problem is my size as I'm 6'01" 265, 32" inseam. I did call around some of these Harley seat builders and from what I understood they are really built for looks and zero comfort.

So now I'm down to my last choise Corbin, I have never had any luck with they on my BMW's years ago and the customer service was usually poor if even that.

So I called Corbin yesterday and told them my size and I was told that they could build me a saddle to fit but I'm very leery about that. I want to take a chance but a $700 or more chance for a Company that still does not have the best curtomer service (according to a lot of biker sites) I'm not ready to have it done.

So I would like to hear back from some riders who own the Screamin Egle Road King and use  Corbin seat and how you like or dislike it and if you were able to keep your original bars. A photo of you bike with the seat on it would be nice also.

TIA,

When I bought the FLHS, the "stock" seat looked like an alligator with a real deep step in it.  Didn't like the looks at all....so, before delivery, I had the dealer swap it out for a "full dresser pillow style" seat...and add the matching "pillow" passenger backrest.

Works just fine from day one. Comfortable. 300-500 mile days not a problem for me or passenger (wife).  Handlebars? Just fine the way it came. Didn't even have to adjust them. The windshield, on the other hand took some time to get right.

At least my experience with seats, never did need aftermarket....factory stuff was just fine.

Had one of those on my Ultra and that sucked for me also, I forgot to mention it my original post. The only feedback I'm looking for is on the Corbin Tour seat for the 03 SERK using the stock bars and a rider that is 6'01" 265 32"inseam.

Again everyone is different and you did forget to mention your size, I would never buy any Harley seat again period! FWIW I did try one of those Zeppelin seats on my Ultra Classic and they thing was horrible. I replaced it with a Russell (AGAIN I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THAT COMPANY) seat and it was great. The Russell will just not work out for the SERK due to they have to build off the stock HD seat pan which there is only so much they can do........

Thanks,

I hope you find a seat that you can be happy with.

YEah I know what you mean about the Russell seat  I have used them for many years , if I can not find a comfortable seat or get any feedback on Corbin the Road King goes and back I go to a GL1800 as they to me are still the best bike out there.

OK.....6'2" and 250 magnificent pounds. Of course, in my 15 years of owning this motorcycle, my metaloblism has changed somewhat....causing my chest to fall into my abdominal cavity...but let's not go there......
