Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / August 2003Vstar 1100 Seats
Anyone know if Yamaha outsources production on it's stock seats? If so, what company? I'm trying to find a GOOD rear touring style pillion seat for an '03 V-Star 1100 Classic. Any suggestions. Trying to keep cost at or below $200. > Anyone know if Yamaha outsources production on it's stock seats? If so, > what company?

Why would you want something even resembling stock V-Star seats?! From all I have read (and experienced) they are not very comfortable. Have you checked out Pacific Coast Star? http://www.pacificcoaststar.com/pcs/seat_original.htm. Scroll down a bit and you will see the pilon seat for under $100. >>Anyone know if Yamaha outsources production on it's stock seats? If so, >>what company?

I just ordered a new Mustang touring complete replacement. I knew I'd have to go this route, was just looking for someone to push me in that direction! Thanks again! > >>Anyone know if Yamaha outsources production on it's stock seats? If so, > >>what company?

It does take some time to break in and soften up but not that long. Yamaha stock seats are sorely lacking. <no pun intended> ;-) SignatureSteve > Thanks for the advice.

I can't spean for him, but I believe mine cost around $350 for a '96 Virago 1100 Special. Here's a link to their site: http://www.mustangseats.com/ SignatureSteve > >>Thanks for the advice.

Here's a link to their site: > http://www.mustangseats.com/ Ouch! With driver backrest, no studs: approx. $835 CAD!! Ordered a touring style with studs and driver backrest for $629 USD. Just received an email from Mustang that it's on back order for 3 - 5 weeks. Just cancelled order. Hunting for someplace that has it instock. Any suggestions. > > Thanks for the advice.

Anyone have anything to say about the Dual Touring seat made by Corbin? One website recommends Corbin seats. (can you tell I have no clue?) > Anyone know if Yamaha outsources production on it's stock seats? If so, > what company?

Check out International Star Riders Association. There is a forum you can join and search on. It has piles of testimonials about all sorts of products. http://www.star-riders.org/ > Anyone have anything to say about the Dual Touring seat made by Corbin? One > website recommends Corbin seats.

Those things are almost worse than the stock seats. SignatureSteve >I had a Corbin once. Never again. Those things are almost worse than >the stock seats. overpriced and uncomfortable. I ordered Mustang seats to replace my stock. The factory said 4 weeks, it really on took 2 weeks and shipped to me in 1 day. So canceling backorder > >I had a Corbin once. Never again. Those things are almost worse than > >the stock seats. > > > overpriced and uncomfortable. Yamaha uses Corbin for some of their seats. For Mustang the factory will always be higher than any dealer due to the fact that they won't undersell them. Try Hellrisers Customs in Santa Cruz, Ca Unless the factory is out of stock they ship fast and prices are excellent. http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/ Check their web site then make a phone call to confirm the order and stock availability. As for the International Star Riders Association forum it is on Delphi Forums. http://forums.delphiforums.com/star_riders/start ****************************************************************************** Anyone know if Yamaha out sources production on it's stock seats?
