Not a good shot, but only one I can find in my photobucket.

I had Baldwin gut my low seat, shave it down, add gel, and maybe more haha.
Used the same factory fabric.

I love it. At that point I had a Corbin and select seat in the garage, those were both sold shortly after getting the Baldwin.

That is one exceptionally beautiful ride rah7's!.. very tastefully done brah'.. (I'm REALLY diggin' the whole combo). The elves shoulda' put gel in the low seat from the get-go I'm thinking, but hey, just can't have everything eh'. What may I ask was the charge for their work? ..& post another pic or two when you have time[up]

Yeah, you might be right, But... I'm thinking it is good to see the workmanship and materials that Baldwin uses on all models just to get a better idea of whats available..

Doesn't sound like it to me.

Forgot to add, I've had mine for a couple years now...it has held up just fine. Loren does great work.

Thanks for the compliments!!

Ive had mine on there almost 2 years I think.
I haven't put many miles on her in those 2 years, but it's held up just fine!

Hands down the best seat option I've used.
I've had a Corbin, select seat, and another I can't remember right now ontop of the stock seats ( regular, SCG and SL versions )
The Baldwin is wrapped in the SCG seat fabric.

I THINK I paid $200 for him to rework the SCG seat. Which included the gel insert, and shaping the sides down to hopefully make it easier for my stumpy butt to reach the ground :-)

I say go for it! Just the rework on my seat was worth it!
Gel insert is a must for any low seat! And Loren can hook it up!
