N0025 1ANFYW.

[andymnelson]

Wow, that's a good question.

This is the seat he's most likely talking about. Those same numbers are on the bottom of my TT solo seat (N0025 1ASYW and N0025 1ANFYW), and mine has a mark next to the first. Looking at the 4th pic in the auction it looks like there is a mark next to the same sequence, but that is definitely not a TT solo seat!

I wonder if maybe it was a custom job? It doesn't look like any seat I have seen before...

That's apparently a generic number for "long" saddles. It shows up in almost every Buell saddle ad on eBay. The sellers almost never know what the seat is or what it fits. But to answer the question, no, it won't fit an sx.

i think the seat in Miami78's post is the touring or "select" seat for the SS.

my factory SS seat has those numbers on the bottom and it also has N0025 4ANYW

 

[Baal]

All right. (Imagine this being said in calm, measured tones)

Which one of you bas***ds won the auction?

I know this is years later but this seems a common thread when searching for long low seats. My early 2007 TT seat has two numbers under it, the selected number is N0025.1ASYW. I also have the 2 UP seat which has the other number N0025.1ANFYW on it. So it makes perfect sense that N0025 is for the lightning longs and that as stated by others the .4ANYW is from the later long models. My two look exactly the same underneath and my short son in law is NOT helped by the lower looking 2 UP seat because the foam is wider at the crotch. I'm going to look for the .4ANYW and hope it helps him, if not we'll get into cutting the foam.

I also have a height challenged Buell lover in the household and her issue really isn't height, it's the width you mentioned. Buells are wide there because you are basically straddling the rear cylinder head.
You'll need to deal with it by learning the side saddle stop, cut the foam, lower it, or get an Scg:

Side saddle stop is just sliding his cheeks over and committing to stop on one leg. Shouldn't be a problem for a basic experienced rider or any dirt rider knows this trick.

Using the stock height seat helped support that part of her body, while trimming the foam at the front points of the seat down to almost nothing let her get her leg straighter to the ground to support herself. Not a perfect fix, there isn't a lot of foam there to begin with.

Lower it by replacing forks, shock, and kickstand. I'm not sure what that will do to a Long. Maybe you need Scg stuff, maybe you need S stuff, I don't know.

Or go shopping for an Scg

Dammit Cooter! You know that scg’s and earlier XBs have smaller diameter forks than the Ss, SST and other long frames.

I do know a guy who would be willing to trade his lowered S for an Ss. Asking for a friend of course! :black_eyed:

Whatevs, I'd chop the spacer anyway...:eek-new:

Honestly I think that is really all the difference is between the forks. One day i will pull apart my Scg forks next to my S forks for a little compare-o. You can buy the beer.

However to put Scg forks on a long wheelbase bike will likely require a new upper/lower clamps.
