Would any of you guys wear brown shoes with a black tux?? I doubt it......it would look ridiculous! So, why would you think putting a brown seat on a black bike would look good??

To each his own, but imho, it looks goofy.

Yea....let me be clear.....not busting anyone's chops....if you like it, go for it....just not for me.........but, I'm sure there are things that I have on my bike, that you guys would absolutely hate.......You all want a brown seat? That's the beauty of making your bike your OWN.....nobody has to like it but YOU.

to the op:

call and ask corbin for some brown leather samples. i had an idea in my head for a seat in two tone brown. even worked it up on their seat designer and i thought it looked pretty good. called them, they sent out a bunch of browns, and turned out the combo that i had originally thought of didn't look as good as i thought it would.

but personally, i think the brown bomber would look pretty good on a black bike. it is a darker brown. i think a lighter tan/brown would look funny. (like the indian desert tan. it's too light. imo)
Nope Im on a regular PC and it works on other sites/forums just not here for some reason. I was able to a couple months back. Don't know why.

I've seen a bunch of HD's with a brown seat but few black ones for some reason. While I'm not a fan myself of brown seats on a black bike, or any bike (reminds me of the wild wild west....) I certainly don't think it's a bad look. I CAN'T STAND green bikes......doesn't mean anything though other than we are human and have different opinions.

BTW......comparing a Harley with a brown seat to wearing a tux with brown shoes is the biggest stretch I've seen around here in quite sometime.......

I had the same problem. I don't think you can do attachments with a quick reply. You have to go advanced. I think doing a quote/reply will work also.

Why? It's an excellent example of how brown just doesn't go with black.
