Really subjective those saddles and I know loads of people love them. For me they would be better suited on a horse.

I get that and I even kinda agree, especially on a roadster (and I have one on a roadster)!
But it’s still the best overall option IMHO, having tried a few.

But on the interstate I think the Corbin really works, the big fat tank makes the big fat seat look way more in proportion, to my eye at least.

Not ideal for those who burden themselves by carrying pillions though of course !
 
FWIW I have one of the BritBike solo cafe seats on the 750 cafe racer Dave and found it one of the most comfortable bike seats I've ever planted my derrier on. Having just completed the Interstate, I'm tempted by one for that too. Bummer about supply though.

In his life he has had,
4 houses,
3 kids,

But only 1 motor cycle

I am changing my MK3 to an interstate and was thinking about buying that seat from Baxters. Instead I ordered one from Burton bikes and it looks and fits great. Can’t wait to get the paint back. Just a few minor adjustments.

Cool Interstate seat options

Gents, Due to unrelenting pressure from my young daughters, I'm gonna have to abandon my nice, selfish, single seat set up on the Commando! I was thinking of going the Interstate tank route as the seat is longer and leaves more room for pillions. Not to mention, more room for fuel! But I've...

I really like that seat. I wish I knew about it in the 90s when I bought my stock seat.

I stared at that seat a lot. I don't think they had it in stock when I started this thread.

Hi Dave, I don think that they have those seats for the roadsters, but do for interstates. I got to tell you its a well made seat and looks good. Of course the true test will be when I get to ride the bike. I have had to adjust the rubber buffering at the back and will need to file out the seat grooves where it fits on a bit as its 1/4 inch too high up. Should get tank and panels back in about a week to test all.

BTW I love those movies you guys ( I am not sure his name, the English man from Yorkshire) are doing there, keep up the good work, cheers

I just occasionally assist, and sometimes guest star but it's @Mike T who does all of the work. You need to jump on that Interstate when it's done and come visit the cul de sac!

I know it looks very nice there. Reminds me of England a bit. Well thanks Mike. Really enjoying the movies. My mrs got me a GoPro for my birthday last week, so I will do a movie or 2. Cheers to you Dave as well…

Many thanks Jerry! I really appreciate it. Yes, Oregon is definitely similar to England in many ways. It's a great place to ride when the weather is nice. @swooshdave is a regular in the videos and visiting artistic director ;)
