I bought a 2005 Rocket III last Saturday. Does anyone know if anyone besides Corbin make seats for them? I don't see anything I like at their website. I want comfort because I plan on lots of miles. Average 11,000 per year.

Oh and mine is faster than all of your red and black ones. Ha ha.

I have the yellow flames.

Optional, i.e. x-tra cost, Triumph gel seats praised by lots of touring riders. Suggest you scroll back. Gut and butt feel aplenty. :wink:

I did 15K in my first 12 months of ownership and I use the Triumph gel seat. Ogre has done even more miles than that in his first 12 months and he uses a Corbin. I saw a posting a while back that someone is getting a Day-Long seat made which from what I hear is the best custom seat you can get so expect to pay some bucks for that.

Thanks I will check them out. Does anyone know if the progressive shocks I have ordered will help the smoothness of my ride. I rode last weekend down some roads I had been on before on prior bike and it about rattled me to death. Gotta remember to have more support next time. :wink:

The Progressives will feel like a million dollar upgrade

. That is how big an improvement you will get

Also do some fairly long roadtrips and after getting the Triumph solo gel seat (wife thinks 4 blocks is a roadtrip so don't need the dual) I finally ended up sending the stock seat off to Russell Day-Long to be rebuilt into a real touring seat. The gel seat is better than the stock but still not right for my butt on long trips, maybe it is for somebody else's. Day-Long is what I recommend if you're serious. Don't have it yet but based on 2 others I've gotten from them in the past for other bikes, they can't be beat.
