I was looking at a Corbin seat for my S1, I went on the Corbin site and the price in the US was £327 but they dont seem to ship the UK, and diverted me to the Europe site the only problem their price is £608 I know we are used to getting ripped of in this country but that's a bit much, what methods have people used to buy these seats without getting totally ripped off is there someone in the UK that sells them at a realistic price?

Don't bother, they're as uncomfortable as a park bench. They are rock hard. I brought mine back from their shop in the USA. It wasn't worth the hassle of carrying it, frankly.

Far better than the original seat for me.

I was fortunate that I was visiting a mate in the US and I brought it back in my luggage.

I find mine very comfortable, the original gave me pain in places I didn't know I had, a pure instrument of torture.

this one was on ebay US it seems to be different from the ones they have for sale today, it looks as if it may be comfier than the standard but doesnt look as nice as the new ones has anyone used the older one?

Can`t tell , but may be a twin seat ,which needs other parts to go with it.

Had flashy wheels at one time .https://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-Buell-Whi ... 7675.l2557

I think I will either have to get My sister to get it in Canada and bring me it or buy an old seat and get a custom one made.

Beef (of this Parish) has a family member who owns Hide and Seam. I've seen some of their bike seats and they are superb. I think they have a website.

I think getting a custom seat made may be a good option, I think I would need to pick up an old seat as I want to keep the one I have which is original. Has anyone had a one off seat made for an S1?

My experience for what it’s worth is trying to buy something cheap costs twice as much.
That seat is a dual seat so no good to you and look both tatty and uncomfortable.

A decent seat builder will be able to puts gell insert into your standard seat or build it to Corbin measurements for a lot less than a genuine Corbin seat. I had this built for my xb body kit. It was just a glass fibre seat pan. I chose he materials and stitching colour and pattern and a gell insert and it came in at £280 it's infinitely more comfortable than the first version made from neoprene racing seat foam.

the fact that you are only about half the weight of your average Buell rider helps
