Who makes best seat for the 14r?
07/23/12 2:20 PM

Looking to get the most comfortable lowest sitting seat for the 14r so I can stay in the saddle and ride for many hours without getting uncomfortable on my butt and back....

Any suggestions on which manufacturer has that item?

I love my Corbin seat, it made all the difference in the world, no more monkey butt. Highly recommend for the price and you can even get it with heat. Heat really helps not only in cool weather but just to relax the muscles. Otherwise a custom made saddle will be the only thing better IMHO...

Here are a couple pics

Looks great. I sooooo need to get a seat. Its the last thing thats keeping me from going on long(er) rides. I got the back and leg/knee stuff covered with the bar risers and drop pegs.

now the next thing I notice is numbnuts, lol. something about the vibration through the seat making my nether regions go numb/burn.

maybe sitting further back from the tank will help, but usually by the time I try that, the issue has already started. have to try different jeans too, might be the seams sending the vibration to the wrong places, lol.

Replaced the seat on my last couple of bikes, but 1000 miles into it, I'm real happy with the 14r stocker. I've done a couple of 300 mile rides no problem.

The Corbin looks good but I also can't imagine anything being more comfortable than the stock seat on the 14R. No problem with 300 mile + rides.

Jagman, have you compared your seat to an older 14's? I have an '07. I just read Motorcyclist's November issue and they say the 2012 14's seat is "soft and supple". No way anyone would describe the '07's that way.

The 06' model is like sitting on a bag of marbles, within an hour of riding I found my bum was killing me, along with pins and needles in other, which can put you off a bit, so I got a Bagster Gel seat made last year.... Don't bother, the Gel was even harder than the foam from the standard seat, returned it and had the Gel removed and they fitted a super sponge....still not brilliant, I asked my dealer for advice, and they suggested the GTR1400 seat which fits, so I have one of those, i can easily do 2 hours in the saddle without any problems, as for the 2012 model, I find the seat sooo comfy. Just don't go for a Bagster/Baglux seat
