I have taken all of mine off.
They just tend to be exactly where I tend to sit.

Hard to picture it with all of the other bodywork.
I say wait, ride it a bit, then decide.Comment

But it's such a long seat, looks better with something to break it up.Comment

Very nice looking saddle. I think I would go without the strap.Comment

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

For some reason straps always seem to get ripped eventually. I just posted some pics of my new redone seat on the General discussion thread, do you like your corbin. Take a look.Last edited by mrbill5491; 04-20-2012, 01:00 PM.sigpicMrBill Been a GSR member on and off since April 2002

Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.Comment

For now, I'd just keep the strap off and stowaway the strap somewhere safe should you decide to add it later.sigpic

That is something completely different and belongs no where NEAR a motorcycle.....Originally posted by chuck hahn View Post
I think the seat looks great either way. Really cant mess it up.Comment

No strap. It's not bad looking but kinda pointless (IMO). If I were a passenger I wouldn't trust that strap to hold me if you accelerated hard.
As far as breaking up the long seat look I might have added a seam (with the nice stitching) or some piping to break the seat up. But I doubt you're going to do that now after it's already done (and looks great BTW).
I think tkent02 has the right idea though, wait until the bike is all done and together and then decide. It'll be a lot easier to add it later than remove it.Comment

Wow,,,,,,,,a 50/50 split at one point, and I was wondering why I was having a hard time deciding...
but as many have said, I will leave it off for now, wait for the bike to be completed, and then see how it will look....
Thanks guys
comments and votes can still be done, it will still help, if not me could be good for others....Comment
