My Bootie!!!!!!
 

So after an all day ride my bootie said OUCH!!!!!!!!

Nothing like riding a dirt bike where I can stand up... so I have heard a little on the subject, but was hoping to get some more input on Seats.

I'm looking to get a COMFORTABLE seat for my 98 SuperHawk...

1. Are there seats specifically for comfort?
2. Are there seats specifically for women?

Anything else you can tell me or recommend I would very much appreciate!

Thanx! :)

Sargeant & Corbin both make a seat for the SH

you could redo the foam in your stocker with some memory foam for added comfort as well.

what would be specifically different for a woman's seat anyway? aren't all seats a little easier on you gals than on 'the boys'? :shock: :lol:

Check out the Dennis Kirk thread they have some corbin seats left for a killer deal plus you use the online coupon. I just purchased one for the same reason.

LOL I didn't think of THAT.....

So I guess my question was inspired by my mountain bike... I have a "special" girl seat for it... maybe for us girls they make them narrower... I don't know.... :oops: :)

I have a Corbin Smuggler for sale if you're interested...

Thats a pretty sweet seat as well

So dumb question time....

My SH is a metric bike right?

How do I know which one will fit my bike? I'm not looking in the correct place or something... I found Valkyrie ....

Thanks for your help!!!! :p

Here it is. I wish I could afford one of these..........

So that back rest must be the "Lady" seat part... what if I don't want that?

Also my bike has this little cover over that part, so I assume I have to get the kind of seat that the cover will fit over right?

You all are so great! Thanks for being such a great sounding board!!!

It does not come with the back rest, it is just the seat you can get the back rest as an option plus its removable.

from what I have heard the cover/cowl will fit over it

just couldn't resist :rolleyes:

I would seriously look at modding your stock seat with memory foam though...I did that on my VTX & it was 100X better than stock & way cheaper too....more money for :bling:

MMmmmm memory foam.... lol

Ok so if I do something like that... how much down time?

Is there a special place you recommend sending it to?

I was thinking you could potentially do it yourself...just gotta take the cover off and shave the hard foam off and put some memory foam down, then restaple the cover back on...if you send it off to somebody it could be a week or two depending on shipping time.

:worthless:

had to do it :shock:

I have a cusyom version of that seat on mine and the rear seat cowl/cover will fit over it. I have regularly put 400-500 miles on it in a day and it is as comfortable as a sportbike seat can be expected to be.

As for the memory foam, any decent car upholstery shop should be able to do it for you.

:cool:

She could get one of those covers I saw advertised on here a while ago too, couldn't she? Take off the stock cover, shave the foam, put on the memory foam, and put the new cover on. Should give better grip than the stock seat too. Plus the look of something more custom and expensive?

Here's the link. I should have done this first.

is this of her special girl seat or her using it? :twisted: :mrgreen:

Definitely an option, I had forgotten all about the custom covers.

+1 Sargent

Let's not forget we can stand up on the Hawk and also do other dirtbikie things like jumps and wheelies. The railroad tracks at Edwardia here in Greensboro are a good launch.

Too true! Although some of these things I'll leave to you all... since "Crashin" is a "Dirt bike thingie" I'd rather not do on my Hawk.

Yes, wait before giving a review. Both Sargent and Corbin's take a while to truly break in to one's posterior. I received a new sargent the night before a 3500 mile trip and by the end of the next 700 mile day I still had a decent dose of monkey butt but by the end of the trip it fit and felt "like a glove".

I loved the used corbin I had on superbling. That price, especially with the coupon discount, is awesome.

I never really had a problem with the stock seat. I would wear bicycle shorts under my leathers for less chafing than my tighty whities. :)

BTW-women's bicycle seats are wider, since their pelvic structure is designed for childbirth.

lol... someone beat me to it..

I thought it was understood that a gilrl on a bike has to post pics of herself... Ask Ali...

and by the way.. "yes".. typically this IS a "boys club"... but any are welcomed..


Welcome to the club.

Ah but I did..... a pic of 'my seat'! I guess I need to get some street pics, all of mine are me on motocross... My street baby is feeling left out!

And thanks for the Welcome! "Boy's Clubs"... my favorite kind!

I just put a Corbin Gun Fighter & Lady on my SH and like it a lot. It change the seating potion for me by moving me back and down lower taking pressure off of my wrist and lower back. In terms of general comfort it is not bad, but need to put some more miles on to get it broken in. The stock seat cowl does fit on it. Probally the best part is that the seat comes off a lot easier than the stock.

Oh yeah... she's gonna be popular.

seat mods
 

There is a guy named Spencer who mods seats for a reasonable price.

I hear he's the greatest thing since sliced white bread. He even advises how to ship for least cost instead of making UPS rich.

Several friends have first hand good experience with the guy.
