Ok, let me be more specific so you guys can tell me what you think.
The guy I asked told me he would take the cover leather out,
reshape the seat so he can insert my gel pad, include a layer of
soft foam, and put the cover (the same one) back, all for $150.
Does that sound like a reasonable price? He mentioned, if I want it
a new leather, the price could go up to around $350.

Javier,
I can't speak for Graham - but - I didn't get leather, that
might be the difference.

Wow!, I asked around here and they want $150 for a similar job,
$350 if I
want new leather instead. Perhaps I need to pay you another visit

Good idea Joey, I just found a guy less than 3 miles away who took
one of
my CB650SC seats and reupholstered it and added a little more
padding, did a
terrific job, for $45

In my case, I took the seat off, took it to a local upholsterer
familiar with boat covers, ATV seats and who rides a Victory cruiser
and for a very reasonable amount of money had him recover it for me.
At the same time I had him re contour the seat slightly - my legs used
to splay out causing me to always have to lean on one foot. With the
seat narrowed just a bit my legs are much straighter as they go to the
ground, I can now have both feet at least half on the ground at the
same time.

Great suggestions, but I left out a somewhat important detail: My
seat has a crack (cosmetic) in one of the seams. So I'd like to make
her look good, but also a bit more comfortable in the process. Black
duct tape works...but...it feels disrespectful to the bike. That's
why I haven't seriously considered a seat cover. So a related
question: how do you repair the leather/vinyl cracks???

I have a buddy who swears by wearing bicycle shorts on long rides
because they have gel cushions in the seat and make long rides more
comfortable...I think I'm going to try it out, but if it works it
sounds a lot cheaper than a new seat or mods to your current seat...

I like the corbin on my '02 750 too even though it is hard, also
because I like the riding position, and I can stick the gel pad on if
I want to. It goes from bike to bike, Graham

Sorry I was late into the discussion. Yes, the link Graham has
posted is the place that make them. I think at the end I got a
better price for the same product atmotorcyclesuperstore.com(as I
remember, the actual price is the same, but this place gives free
shipping for orders over $75).
My experience with the Corbin in my '96 750 is that I really like
the riding position, but it is much more harder than the stock.

Could you point us towards a link for that cushion?

Rusty, I just put a corbin seat on my '85 CB650SC. It looks real
great but
is like an ergonomically wrapped brick. However I put a gel
cushion on it -
which brings it back up closer to the original height of the Honda
seat and
it is real comfortable. The gel cushion just sits on the seat,

Hi, all.
I've recently taken a trip on my 1983 CB650SC from Detrot to
Nashville
and back. It was truly a fantastic ride. With one exception: My
bike is stock...including the leather wrapped brick that Honda calls
a
"seat."
I'm now interested in buying a used seat, Corbin or other brand,
that
is more ergonomically shaped for a human butt.
If anybody has suggestions on where to shop, or who to contact,
please
let me know. I absolutely love this bike.
Thanks,
Rusty
