I love my Bonnie. But I hate her seat. From certain points of view, it looks too big. It is too big!

Any alternatives? Something narrower, sleeker?
I'm already thinking of selling her and buying a Speed Triple!

Gee, your thinking of selling the bonnie and buying a triple because the seat looks too big. You can buy replacement seats you know.
Try one of these for a seat.

I'm waiting for Corbin to produce a full leather version of the stock seat. I emailed them regarding this possibility, but at the time they had no plans to do so. At some point the pleather/vinyl/whatever stock seat has got to go.
