I've have a '96 Thunderbird and the stock seat's killing my wife and me after a short while. Any recommendations?

I switched to a TBS leather seat, it takes a little modification but it feels a whole lot better.

My Tbird came with the King & Queen. It looks like it would be comfy, but it killed me after about an hour in the saddle.

I bought a corbin and swear by it. It does take about 1,000 miles to get it broken in, but once it's broken in, you're good all day. A few months ago, I put in a 10 hour day of riding on it, only stopping for gas and fast food. My back hurt, my kidneys hurt, my arms hurt, but my arse was fine.

Do be forwarned about their customer service though. It is non-existent.
It's a shame because I do like their product.

The Comfort seat from Sprint Manufacturing is quite good. And from what I have heard you don't have to send then the seat pan anymore.

I too think the Sprint seat may be the way to go but... I have the K/Q seat on my 2001 and am happy with it. However...I also have a Corbin seat for the earlier style (like yours) and will be happy to send it to you for $20.00 plus shipping. It's only in fair shape but is useable, has a back rest and does not fit my bike. I also have a stock seat in excellent shape if you want a spare - $50.00. AND if you need the tubular luggage mounts, have them, also for $20 (they don't fit my bike either). I plan to list these in classified but since you posted this, will give you first shot.

I'll take that corbin if it's the Gunfighter & Lady and you don't hear from March. PM me and I'll send instant payment through Paypal.

put me in line next for the corbin if someone does not take it

I'll buy the rack from you, if it's the one that attaches to the sissy bar.

Sorry, I don't have a rack - what I have are the curvy chrome pieces that the soft luggage ties on to. They keep the leather bags from swinging into the wheel. I bought them on this forum and was told that they would fit a 2001 - they don't. BadMouth - I recevied your mail - if I don't hear from March soon - it's yours - I'll get back to you for arrangements.

Awesome! Thank you.
