Hi Guys as I was browsing ebay I came across this ad which it could be from a member of this forum as well

Anyway I really like the seat and I was wondering if this is custom made or a factory option or aftermarket accessory ..or...or ..or
Please enlighten me

Great thanks!!!
I visited their website apparently they don't make any more this design , they make a much more elaborate design which is not for my taste.
Are there other options for a solo style seat?

I would do same way. One good mc seat upholsterer here have done to me 3 very good saddles for my ass to my Duck's. Its is not too expensive and they ask normally too much from those Corbin, etc saddles in markets(Ebay). Surely thing depends about ass, is it possible to make good saddle....

No prblems for me, as i have heard from some women that i have just right size ass and quite tight (still !!!)

Anyway last he modified my ST2 saddle, It cost 150€ and i choose materials, colous and he did it just like i wanted, so it fits better than any Corbin, etc. to my ass. There is also Sargent what makes saddles, but i dont know, do they make any for Paso. To ST thay made, as i have one.

Yes you are right I will give it a go with a local upholsterer at some point. But first I will find another seat as I don't want to destroy my original.
I have to admit I am not what you would call a basketball player .I am 1.73 m so at the the moment I am stepping only with the tips of my feet (unless I wear high heels which then will bring new problems with the wife and family

). So a little shaving of the seat would help me have a firmer grip on the bike when still.

NO! That is one aftermarket saddle(remembering that some Germany company sell such many years ago).
Here You can see well that -92 / 907 saddle:

Sorry, HIGGY managed to come between your and my mails! My answer was to Antzo's previous mail.
Btw, Higgy, how much you weight and how long You are?

yes I can see the 92 is more sculpted than mine (not bad, but I'll think I'll copy the early Corbin style which gives the impression of a solo seat with the rear end in red leather). Does anyone have a cheap ripped seat that I can use as a base for my custom seat?????

I think someone had just few times ago some for sale here. But put new topic to "want to buy" section if You need some old one. I think many have old poor condition ones for "reserve". Worth to try!
