SHow me your tobins...

[NearDeath]

All,
Want to buy a tobin seat and want to get more ideas on colors and styles besides what he has on the site... Post 'em people... Don't worry, I am not going to steal your color scheme, just want an idea of what all the colors look like to see what would be good combinations for lettering, and a two tone seat for me...

I've been wanting to get my seats done also while the weather here in IL is crap. I've been emailing him but getting no response. Does anybody know if he's out of town or anything???

Call him.

I had little luck with email too, I think he's a busy guy.

But if you call him, you'll be good to go.

Do a search for Tobin seats and you'll find a thread with his number.

Or maybe someone else can post it if they remember it?

[fstbusa]

[zukracer]

so back to the topic at hand

lets see some PICS

I personally am considering getting Tobin to do mine but I'm curious about this one




Anyone know who's this is and how much it cost? Same color scheme as my bike and I kinda like the rear pad , think it would make longer distance riding easier

 

[VaBusa]

I just go to try out my new Tobin yesterday; 50 degree days, I couldn't stand it anymore and had to ride!

I was aware of it being a new seat for the first 10 miles or so, then I forgot...until I'd get to a stop light! Have an already lowered Busa (2 inches in the front and rear), then the 1.5 - 2 inches cut down by Tobin, man I was wobbling at every stop! I'd go to put my foot down and it would hit before I expected...it's going to take a few long rides to really get used to it, but the seat thus far is comfy...I'm kind of worried about the longer trips, but I'll find out soon enough...

The Tobin seat looks awesome though...I need to take pics...

 

[IL_BusaBoy]

My question to Tobin was how will the new seat affect my riding comfort? I'm a larger guy, around 6'4" 250 lbs. I know that by him cutting the seat it puts you lower on the bike. How comfortable is this really to a bigger guy?

 

[BigBSBusa]

6'3" 225 lbs here and they feel great to me. Lots of other big guys with the same feeling though I won't speak for them. You really get the feeling of being in the bike not on it.

 

[Cecil_Stringer]

I'm 6" @ 200'ish lbs and I have found it to be more comforable than the stocker.

 

[Smoke_Dog]

Here's my Tobin!  Even though I haven't seen my BUSA since Dec 28th 04, due to the fact I'm in the Horn of Africa at the moment.  So, these pictures will have to do!  Smoke_Dog

Here is my tobin seat. I really like how comfortable it is.

 

[BigBSBusa]

Rich, where 'ya been man? How's things going? Did you get the turbo up and running?

 

[MC MUSTANG]

Here is mine. Flat black, no lettering. I am posting my picture 'cause I really like to see my bike!

 

[BulletTrain]

Mine... I think Cecil has them now.
