Single seat Cafe-racer esque seat ideas?

I'm fairly new to bonnies so I don't know that much about the seating options, but so far I certainly like the cafe racer seat look. That, and I will almost always ride alone so I'd prefer a single seat.

I've looked at tons of pictures/posts/and searched threads, but I've yet to find a clear answer to which seat would work best for me. Anyone else have experience or found a comfortable alternative to the stock seat in this style?

This is the look I'm going for.



If you could, please post a link to the seat/site to buy it. I'm new to cycles so the jargon/terms/websites go straight over my head.

Thanks so much!

That looks like the mas race seat. Now discontinued. May be able to find one used. I have the triumph singe seat. Not the one with the rack. Also called the sixty eight seat. Uber comfy. No more numb-butt. Somewhat cafe. Matches the stock lines well.

Nicest one I've seen yet is offered by Spain's '8Negro Speed Parts' as found on the 8Negro Triumph blog. One of the forum members has posted a pic of his bike somewhere on the forum with the 8negro cafe seat on. Really sleek.

Corbin Smuggler

Personally, I like my Corbin Smuggler. However, I understand there may have been some quality control/customer service issues, recently. Do a search for the Corbin Smuggler and you will see the thread.

Look at the Corbin gunfighter seat. Mine is very comfortable - cost $400. Exceptional quality - made in late 2007. Ridden 15,000 miles on it. Still as good as the day it was made

Awesome, would love to meet up sometime. My bike is coming from Nashville, I'll have it in a month, can't wait. I'll probably be patient and search for a single seat around here. It seems they hold their value well though, as new seats cost about as much as I've seen used seats for sale.
