Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the stock seat I have sitting in the corner here of my home office.

Looks like the Mototwin 70 black top seat to me. I have one on my bike now. The seat is a little more comfortable than stock but still leaves me sore before a hundred miles.I am now looking at the Corbins.I wish Mustang made a seat for us!

I like the look of the original just not the feel so I was hoping these might be good.
Den you're right it is a Mototwin blacktop.
It looks a tad thicker than the stock or is that just wishfull thinking?
The pillion pos. looks a bit better to being a bit more concave.

Den if you get the Corbins and are thinking of selling the Mototwin seat I might be interested, send me a PM.

I have the same seat, but the gray top version. It is indeed more comfortable than the stock seat. It is a bit narrower and taller for the rider, but wider for the passenger. My girlfriend thinks it is much more comfortable than the stock seat. I'm going to buy another one for my Montana bike.
