Anyone know of makers of seats for the klr other than corbin I saw a pic online of an 08 with a very dished seat and cant find it online Thanks Garrett Bayonne,nj

[David Bell]

I just got a Sergeant. It is not dished, it is very flat. I don't like dished seats like some Corbins I have had. I haven't taken any long rides on the Sergeant but so far on short (40 mile) rides it is much, much better than the stock seat. $350, 6 week wait. db ----- Original Message ---- From: gbennett69 To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 12:05:38 PM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] after market seats other than corbin Anyone know of makers of seats for the klr other than corbin I saw a pic online of an 08 with a very dished seat and cant find it online Thanks Garrett Bayonne,nj [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I have the Russell on my ST1100 and love it. They do make one for the KLR. Here's a couple links I pulled up on KLR seats. You might find the one you're asking about on one of these. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=318367 http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/6164/page36.html Jeff Elk Point, SD Subject: RE: [DSN_KLR650] after market seats other than corbin Anyone know of makers of seats for the klr other than corbin I saw a pic online of an 08 with a very dished seat and cant find it online Thanks Garrett Bayonne,nj [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

the KLR. Just about any of the custom seat builders will do them for the KLR, DR or any bike. Just send them your seat and tell them what you want. I've seen them on KLRs, DRs and XR's. Some look kinda funny but sure do ride good. Andy in Louisiana

You have to do a LOT more than send your seat and tell them what you want. I have had one Rick Mayer seat and one Bill Mayer seat. First, you have to make an appointment which will be weeks or months away. They will assign you a production date. You have to take pictures of yourself and your passenger on your bike. You have to answer several questions. Then, a week or two before your production day, you send your seat so that they can use the seat pan. You also send the $600 or so. Your butt will thank you later. db ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrus Chesley To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:31:01 AM Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Re: after market seats other than corbin

OK you are right; it could be done that way. You must have more than one bike to be able to do without your seat for several months. I only had one bike at the time and I was assuming that someone asking might not want to have no seat for several months. I am also assuming (which could be wrong) that you had to send in your stock seat pan. The mayers have some seat pans to exchange so that you can send your old seat in after you get your new seat. However, if they don't have a seat pan of your type you have to send yours in. If someone is interested in these seats, they are easy to find on the internet. Rick Mayer and Bill Mayer are both sons of the original Mayer (Rocky?). They have competing companies now and don't get along very well according to some. Both make good seats and will work with you individually to make sure you get the seat you want. dave ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrus Chesley To: David Bell Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 7:53:13 PM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: after market seats other than corbin I've had 4 rick myers seats built and one daylong.
