Mr. Trout,
send me an email, I have a aftermarket "stepped" LTD style seat that came on my 76 KZ900.
I will send it to you for free just pay shipping cost.

Wow! That is a very generous offer, but I am going to pass. I already have a stock seat that is in good condition, but not comfortable to ride on for very long. I really like the looks of the Corbin seat and expect that it would be more comfortable on longer rides. Thank you for such a generous offer!

Wheelhop, no offense, but definitely not on that seat. I never like the looks of that style seat.

I'm not a fan of those tractor/ass bucket seats either. They look ok on a Goldwing or something like that but look horrible on a standard style bike with nice lines.

My old butt loves my tractor/ass bucket. I do get out the Corbin when it’s time to get serious.

When I need to cover some miles I get out the 94' ZG 1000 Concours. I've ridden to Deadwood from here in two days and went riding in the Black Hills for the next four days and then fives days home through the back roads of Idaho and Wyoming. The stock seat is almost an ass bucket and is really comfortable.

No offense taken. You can always swap out the seat when you are going for a long ride or a quick blast.
