[I need a new seat!]

I need your help to make an informed decision on what seat to buy for my 2008 FXSTSSE2. Choice 1: LaPera Maverick LK-910. Choice 2: Corbin classic solo and passenger Pillion. I have ridden a bike with a corbin seat and it was nice, but it didn't exactly fit the bike I had to shim the rear fender mount about 1/4" to bolt it down. Please help me. I do not want to waste my money and make the wrong choice.  Passenger Pillion comfort is as important as the driver's seat.

What will you do with that username once you get a new saddle ?

I went with the Corbin gunfighter, and I love it. Rode 250 miles yesterday very comfortable

I will change it to "(insert username) ROCKS!" as an ode to the person who helps me find a great seat.

Call Sherry at Danny Grey.......I bought a weekend two up and a solo butt crack. The weekend two up was a huge difference than the stock. You can even custom how every you want too. I really think you will be happy. I own a 07 FXSTSSE2 and the 07 and 08 should be the same.....they both have a 200 mm rear tire and the same tank console. I Hope this will help you...

The '07 and '08 are NOT the same.

LePera will custom a seat for you as well.  I think no matter who you go with it will be a better seat than the stock on.  I've just spent my money on other things and not the seat yet but it is coming soon!!  So take pictures and let us all know who you went with.

CORBIN MAKES A SEAT, 08 ONLY, GUNFIGHTER  AND LADY TOURING SEAT, VERY COMFORTABLE. 600 DOLLARS OR SO.

Have an '08.  Installed the Corbin Solo with Passenger Pillion (and sissy bar).  Also use the solo seat back rest because of the Chubby Apes.  Best move I did.  Very comfortable seat.  But, my fiance has to use a "Butt Saver" gel pad because the passenger pillion is hard.

Good luck.  Best advice is to get to a good bike rally (Sturgis or Daytona) and stop in to both booths and try them out.

07-08 are the same.......they both have a 200 rear tire....it changes in 09.......to 240 rear tire....

may want to try mean city cycles they use your stock seat choice of padding gel memory foam heat plus new cover if you want. wife has a 08 low rider had the sides shaved to help reach and did memory foam she loves it ,she did the 105th reunion over 900 miles one way only person not on a dresser and had no complaints at all.

Corbin on both bikes, love them, heated on the CUSE and non heated on Road Rod, very comfortable for short and 500 plus mile rides
