Man, I don't know how you really tall guys do it with stepped seats. I'm only 6' and like to have room. I had this seat custom made with the hump moved back just for that purpose. Too bad I had to pay closer to $400 for this one though... :pinch:

79MKII - I like the seat - nothing like one of a kind, but surely the price is unfavorable in these trying economic times. Was that real leather? Mine are not.

A Corbin gunfighter solo is a close match production seat for less - and that was my second choice.

I had that done by Sargent and the gunfighter is what I was going for. Corbin doesn't make one for the MKII :( I also called Corbin about making one custom and they wouldn't consider it. It's pretty comfortable and I like the extra room since I had the hump moved back from where it was on my other seat.

Your guy does excellent work, and for less money. Where were you a year ago?? :P :laugh: :laugh:
