Highly recommend the Sargent saddle for the 50R.

I have an extra corbin seat from the R12r in just bought. I may sell it but don't know the price.

I've got the Sargent for my bike, and really like it. It is a little over an inch taller than the standard, which changes the ergonomics a bit, but it is MUCH more comfortable than the standard seat. I could instantly tell the difference, and can ride much further without getting "saddle sore". I'd definitely recommend it based on my experience.

Best of luck,
Andrew

The last major thing I have to do to mine, to endure longer trips,
is a seat.

It's very most likely going to be one of these, all users comments
are extremely favorable.

Maybe not the sleekest, but nobody can see it when I'm sitting on it
and when I'm not sitting on it I'm not around to worry about it.
(There's the old attitude showing again!)

This one sure looks comfy, and is nice looking in the bargain.
As of this moment, at least, I'm leaning this direction.

This R1200R saddle will not fit the R1150R.

For what it's worth - I am 6'3" (ish) and have tried the Corbin which I liken to the BMW "low" saddle. Very cramped. I then searched this thread and founf pointers on rebulding my "high" saddle on the Rockster. If I had the money a Sargent would sit on the bike.
