Modern seats for classic bikes?

Just wondering if theres any companies that sell modern styled seats for older classics, I love the look of alot of the old bikes but those huge seats dont do it for me. Ive ot a 73 Honda

73 Honda?Honda made a ass loads of bike in '73.Check ebay first then you might have to look into getting something custom made.

you will almost certainly have to have something custom made. My advice is to buy an extra stock seat and find a bike with a seat you like and purchase a stock seat for it as well. Take them both to an upholstery shop and order them to perform magic.

Or if you are more DIY you could try out some different foam thicknesses/densities and get a comfortable riding position.

One thing that I do know is that if you take, say, a narrow sport bike seat, and put it on a standard that doesn't have the lean (or vice versa) you will be one uncomfortable dude. So a little bit of fitting might be in order.

Corbin might have something. But best bet is to go to an upholsterer get some foam glue it to the seat pan and then stick it in the freezer after a few hours pull it out and cut it to the shape you want and try it out. Freezeing makes it cut better so use a sharppie to mark out the next cut. when done bring it back to the upholsterer for a cover.

Huge seat? A stock Honda seat is more or less a flat slab of foam with a vinyl cover, nothing huge about it unless you have an aftermarket king/queen seat or something.

Corbin makes very nice seats but they aren't cheap, plus they probably don't carry anything for a bike that old. Another source is Sargent Cycle, but again for a bike that old all you may find is a stock replacement cover. Depending on what kind of seat you want, you could look at Omar's Cafe Products for a cafe racer style universal seat, or one of the many custom/chopper parts catalogs if that's your thing. In the end you probably are looking at having a local upholstery shop modify your existing seat.

what kind of seat were you looking for?

Seats from other bikes can be made to fit, you can modify your seat, or go with an aftermarket seat. You can even make your own seat, but that is a bit more work.

Define 'modern styled.'

For customizing an older Honda, you'll probably find somebody who's done it already. If not, you'll be looking at a custom build, and this seats, so long as it keeps your ass off the rear wheel and you can stand whatever discomfort you build in, you should be golden.

They're all pricey (starting around $300) but WELL worth it if you're planning on spending more than a few hours a day on a particular bike,a nd already faced with spending even just $100 to replace an old seat.
