need a low seat
« on: August 29, 2008, 08:36:22 PM »

Does anyone know where I can get a really low seat. I have an ultimate lowboy on there now but I was looking for something that was a lower.  Don't care if its a rough ride, it's just gonna be for cruisin around town not long rides.  Any ideas or suggestions???

Michael at "So Cal Seats" makes a nice low solo seat for the VTX.  I've heard it really sits you low in the bike. His web site is currently under construction and so I can't show you his sample page. But he currently has my Sumo 1.5 seat recovering it with a design I've come up with. But if you want to email him and ask some questions, I imagine he'd send you some sample photos of the seats his company makes.

I have a Corbin touring seat. It is the lowest that I've experienced so far.

I thought SoCal was going though problems and had shut their doors temporarily??

Last we spoke he's still waiting for a part to fix his Gel machine. Not sure if that's preventing him from doing other work tho?
He's currently stitching up the new cover for my seat. But I'm not waiting on any Gel fill.

Uh, well, if you really want LOW,,,,, (This is no joke!)

I saw a rider (at Harleys and Horses) with a 1/4 inch thick piece of aluminum diamond-plate for a seat!

Flat, with about a 45 degree upward bend at the rear.

Hey, you said you wanted low, and weren't worried about comfort!!!!  ;D   ;D  ;D

Talk about a ruff rider!! Jeez!
