: New Ghost Rider seat for 240 frame!
mnkemist 11-17-2008, 12:30 PM Has anybody seen/tried this new seat from Ghost Rider Customs.
Fastback Low-Pro Seats for 240 Frames.
Finally, designed specifically for the 07+ wider 240 frames. Damn nice lookin' seat and one heck of a price for a stitched leather seat. The link to the new 07+ seat is below. I'm interested but would love a review on the comfort factor. If not this new one anyone have feedback on GRC's other seats?

LOL, I agree... that price is for the alligator skin and Stingray is $899...OUCH! Exotic skins are way too spendy for my wallet.
Good old leather is WAY cheaper
Leather "Fastback" Only $349.99 and shipping of $20.00
Add Stitching, Choose from 5 Colors and Styles for $389.99.
Want to see if anyone has an opinion on these Ghost Rider seats. I think it looks pretty sweet!
cendres 11-24-2008, 08:25 AM Did you pull the trigger on this? I'm interested in one myself and would really like to see one in person...
Diamond Lil 11-24-2008, 08:55 AM $319 including shipping for leather and stitching. I did not order, but that doesn't seem so bad.
The manufacture of those seats sells them on ebay all the time. :)

For less than that price?
That price is ridiculously low from other seats I've seen before. I'd like to see the underside and how it's all set up.
Does anyone have one of these?

Yes I saw one on ebay for 235 I think list is only around 270 from the manufacture. Keep an eye out you will see them. It's made by a major seat manufacture. These are not high quality seats, I would compare them to stock seats. I met the manufacture in Vegas a couple of years back, probably the same time Arron met them.
Here is the manufacture and keep an eye on ebay they are a big seller on ebay. http://www.ccseats.com/vrod.htm

Max, I was told this is the same manufacturer that makes the CFR seats. Do you know about that?

No it is not, I won't mention the name of the company that made seats for Cary but they were CFR's design and had to be sold through Cary. Big difference between that and what Arron does IMHO.

Thanks for clearing that up!
cendres 11-24-2008, 12:19 PM So, is there a quality low-profile seat available for the 2007+ bikes?
mwdhand 11-24-2008, 12:33 PM The quality might be good on these. If they're of equal quality to the stocker, but made out of real leather and with better looks than stock then I'd say they look like a decent deal.
Is there a high quality on for 07 bikes? Yes try bitchin seat, I think they run about $1500 though.

Yeow. $1200. Maybe the stock seat's not so bad after all.
Buckeye826 11-24-2008, 02:46 PM there was a post of one of these seats on the forum. If I remember the fit was way off in the rear it separated what looked like a .25". I think he was trying to use a strap to hold it down in hopes that it would remain down once the strap was removed
mnkemist 11-25-2008, 11:52 AM Think I will stick to my original plan. I finally found a local leatherworker who works with seats and I am just going to redo my Sundowner. Like that seat a lot just don't like the cheap vinyl so new leather should do the trick.
Thanks for the insight also Max! None of us like to skimp on quality and I would rather spend a little extra with a local craftsman than be dissappointed after saving a couple bucks.
Now, if May would just hurry up and get here. Yes, I'm already bitchin' about winter!
cendres 11-25-2008, 12:03 PM Who did you find to do this? Are you in the Cities?

PM sent with info.
spinedoc 11-25-2008, 08:12 PM Some of the CFR seats didn't fit right either, mine included, but I'm sure the baseplate will make all the difference like it did with the CFR. This one looks pretty decent, anyone contact them for a group buy?

Buckeye826 11-27-2008, 11:01 PM I bought one of the last CFR or the Last CFR and I ride it without the baseplate, and I don't even have rear pegs so no two up with the saddle. But, the seat did settle after a few warm days.
morvegil 12-05-2008, 06:02 PM SO can I keep my stock pillion with these seats?
cendres 12-05-2008, 06:47 PM No, this replaces both portions of the stock seat.
spinedoc 12-06-2008, 08:23 PM Just ordered one, I'll post up results. I called the company that makes them and they wanted more than GR did.
cendres 01-04-2009, 01:21 PM Just ordered one, I'll post up results. I called the company that makes them and they wanted more than GR did.
Did you receive your seat? What think?
spinedoc 01-04-2009, 07:48 PM Still waiting on it, they havent had a chance to get a mock up bike yet.
