i'm loving this Home - BeadRider - Beaded Motorcycle Seats

@Boog put me on to it at RAA East 2018

Had some of these cheapo chinize. Lasted a year and tore apart. Ordered this to see how much it lasts. Gives me a light lift over the Valkye barndoor eazzier than cutting the door.

i had the original dual seat on my 07 ( with duct work after a few hours it felt like u were sitting on a bowl)
found a roadster seat (w/o duct ) and was quite a bit better. as for the heat as far as i could tell there was not any difference. of coarse when its 105/110 guarantee u r going to be hot

Corbin can be hit-or-miss depending on the bike. Worked great on my Yamaha FJR and could do 13 hours straight. Not so much on my Valkyrie. For my Touring I got the long Haul seat and working great, however not perfect. I also use a Propad brand gel pad seat cover for the longer days on my R3T. Had a couple 8-hour days on it and been working excellent along with the long haul seat.

Hope you find something that works for you.

The Corbin solo has worked great for my large butt for well over 10K miles so far.
I used the beads for 30K miles prior and they were a very good less expensive option.
Only drawback is they do raise the seat height some. The Corbin is lower than stock and better for my 29" inseam.

Ricardo,
Ya shoulda got the ceramic beads instead of the wood, although I had no problemas with either type.

The stock seats are designed to feel great in the showroom or a short test drive. I have a Corbin solo and dual seat and like them a lot. They don't feel cushy, but actually more comfortable for longer rides.

I should add about Corbin- despite the comfort of both seats on my Roadster you do need to be aware of the many complaints about Corbin seats on this forum. The solo on my Roadster fits so snug against the tank that it is wearing the clear coat. It came with the bike, so waiting on an excuse to paint something other than black and will change then. The twin seat is hard to bolt on, as the bracket doesn't line up perfectly with the seat.

I had a Corbin on a 900 Trophy that may as well have been carved from wood- terrible.

I wish Sargent made seats for the Rocket.

I just cut into the foam and put a gel insert in. A layer of smoothing foam over that and the original cover back on. Can ride for hours now. Have done several trips a around 700 miles over a weekend and totally comfortable. Gel $70 with enough left to do the back of the Harley seat for my wife

@Waconut Where does one obtain said gel insert ?

Anyone have suggestions on seat options.
Rear on fire after 50 miles or so.
Saw a used Corbin solo on EBAY .

Thanks,

Look at Saddleman or Corbin. Saddleman builds their own and will mod yours. I have a Corbin custom dual and Saddleman modded mine and added gel packs in the butt bone area.

Tried many different solos. Bought a Corbin Solo with backrest. Use only that for less than 4 hour rides. Just rode 16 hours and added a AirHawk. Very good combination and saved my back!

My ass is worn so a fancy seat ain't getting it. Just ride.
