I am a new member that just signed up this morning. I found the site while searchinf for new seats for my bike. I currently own a 2004 Yamaha Midnight Road Star 1700. I have had the bike for a little over 4 months and the wife is about to kill me if I don't purchase a pass. seat, bags, and a windshield. If you happen to know of anything out there that will not break the bank let me know....
Looking forward to getting to know all of you out there...
God Bless

Welcome to the Clinic. What look are you going for? Hard or soft bags? Fairing or shield? You can't go wrong with an Ultimate seat, but the are pricey. Your butt will love you for it though.

Welcome ravendsaint. I agree with Paul. My wife and I love our Ultimate seats. You might want to check on Ebay, the classifides here or on the Roadstar Riders Forum too. If you can afford new, you can get them here: Ultimate Seats. They offer a 14 day trial, so if you don't like them you can ship them back for a refund.

There are other good seats out there too, and I'm sure others will make their recommendations. If you can sit down on some of them first it would help you.

WELCOME!! I own and run a motorcycle repair shop in Sebring, FL and have a standing offer for Clinic members. I will sell for my cost + 10% + shipping anything that I have access to. If you want a windshield that is quickly removable take a look at National Cycle SwitchBlade. I don't know of any passenger seats that can be used without the matching driver seat.

If your riders seat is stock and all you need is a passengers seat to match then ebay is probably your best bet.

Again, Welcome!

Oh, you don't have a "P Pad" for her at all? Heck, I've got several just sitting in the shop.

I bought the Ultimate seat set, all 4 pieces plus Rain covers, ran me $940. (I do love them) Get a standard P-pad from Fireman922 and take it to a local upholstery shop and have them put in the "Memory foam" and make it just a touch wider and she will love you forever and you can take the money you saved and take her for the long ride!
