I rode with the stocker, wanted something different. Bought the Corbin set, hated it. I've had them on all my bikes and thought they were great, this one just plain stank. I ordered the Tobin. Comfy, love the look, my butt ached wicked after 100 or so miles and I felt a little cramped, my torso is short and legs are long.
I brought my Tobin to the local guy that has done all my boat stuff. He also does custom bike seats and just about anything else that can be padded or covered.
I wanted the Tobin look but with a gel pad and something different for a cover. I asked him to make it with Stingray hyde, I chose black and red in the same pattern as my Tobin. I had him give me an extra inch or so space on the actual seating area so I can move around a little.
I knew this was gonna be pricey but anything custom or one of a kind for a bike or car usually is. I spent well over $30K on the Warrior between the bike and the custom pieces. I never asked how much beforehand and knew I'd be treated fairly. Some of you will likely fall off of your chairs anyway.
The gel pad was $90 from "Butt Buffer", I bought the stock seat from somebody here for $45. The Stingray hydes were $90 each and he needed three to make the cover without the funky white stripe that they have on them (You can see part of it on the red back piece). The total from the shop was rounded down to $500. So $500 + $45 + $90 = $635 for this seat.
It is wicked comfy and likely close to indestructable as far as the finish goes. It has a wicked texture to it and though it looks slick it is pretty grippy. I have never really liked "shiny" seats but I kept going back to this stuff when I was looking at hydes. The Sharkskin stuff is cool also but I didn't see anything with color to it.
He was making a cover for a 06' LE at the same time as mine was there. It wasn't cut down at all just stock foam with new covers. It was white with a black Stingray stripe down the middle with the pattern running down it. I'll try to get a pic of that one also.
Opinions please, good or bad, no matter, I just want to know what you guys think.
