Any owners managed to find a comfortable low seat for their C5 (with photographs) ?

See the photos of my C5, posted under the title "My new C5" on 10/6/17.

I fitted a Corbin dual seat and it is so comfortable I even forget I am sitting on it. Probably sits about 4" lower.

Not cheap though, at about A$650 delivered.

Also the seat is only manufactured to fit C5s manufactured before 2013, as the tank mounting system changed in 2013 and the little lug on the central spine that the front tongue on the Corbin seat tucks into had to be moved back a bit, and the tongue is in completely the wrong place for the later bikes. My bike is a 2016 model and I found this out after purchasing the seat. 6 hours work and remanufacturing a new front tongue for the Corbin seat sorted that out, but it isn't a job for the faint hearted.

Thanks for your reply. Nice seat and wheels! It was to fit a C5 my other half was about to purchase to replace her 535 Virago which is currently sitting out in the garden until it gets sold as I've reclaimed the shed for important B5 business!
