Well I broke down and sprung for a custom seat. After a 850 mile trip on the stock seat I new it was time to change up. I did some searching around and decided on the Balwin C14 altra tour seat. Ordered the new one last night and sent mine off this morning. All the reviews I read were positive about the seats comfort, quality and the excellent service from Loren. I also liked the look of the seat over some other brands. I'll send some pics when I get it back and give a quick review after a few hundred miles.

Keep us posted! Loren's saddle is on my wish list.....hopefully he will have another sale in the Winter.....hint,hint,hint! ;)

His customer service is absolutely second to none, and both my fiance and I LOVE the saddle. We went with a dual-setting heating element front and rear, and it significantly increases both the time I can stay in the saddle between stops, and the temperature range which is comfortable to ride in with the high/low heat options. Pricey, but not more so than the equivalent Corbin, and I think his customer service is better.
-
I broke down and bought one too. My wife really wanted the Russell because she said it looked the best for her bottom. I just couldn't imagine that saddle on my bike. I have not seen the finished product but it should be here in the next couple of weeks.
-
I ordered one of the new GT seats too. Can't wait to get it. Hate the stock seat!
-
ordered one this last spring and rode it for 10k. Customer service is incredible. Wife saw immediate improvement and never complained again about inconfort.
i saw a 100% improvement but manage to get the numb butt after 4-5 hours instead of 2-3 hours before. Not the seat but i think i just dont have enough fat on the rear ;D
Loren is the way to go

If you have a seat made for her and ride without, better be ready for some s... hitting the fan when you get home :'(

I actually have a Corbin, not a Baldwin... When mama rides with me she get's the heated option and backrest, but when she's not riding with me I have the smuggler on, best of both worlds IMO. No threadjack intended... :chugbeer:
