It's Here CORBIN

[mattiesettlement]

:bow1: My Corbin finally came in after a very very very long wait!
I put it on the bike to try it but I have not wired it up yet but that looks really simple.
First impressions. Well it looks nice. It is a bit wider than the original. I will really be able to tell when I ride it which will be in a couple of minutes.

Getting the seat on was a little difficult. But it might just be that I had a stupid moment. :excited: :nuts1:
Hope these pics come out.
Will update with the ride report!
Thanks!

Exactly how long are we talking here. . . ???? :confused:

Some times a good test ride can take at least a few hours. Seat looks good on the bike.

Mine came in too... I didn't get the seat stitching, just a plain seat, no heat. Feels really good though. Took about 4 weeks to get but well worth the wait. Customer service was good too. All in all a good experience with Corbin. Seat looks great and feels great, and cutomer service told me straight up info I requested.

My friend just got his and installed it last weekend. I will say that the wiring for the fuse is a bit crap. I would personally re-think the wiring since the fuse box looks naff (it doesn't close properly) once the wiring is complete.

Would've thought Corbin would do a better job than that! Apparently the seat is wonderful though. Might order myself one when I've got me some $$$$.

I am thinking about making the Corbin purchase also.

Mattie/Eddie-- please provide as much insight as possible regarding comfort, etc. I was sold on the Sargent but now am not sure. Does Corbin offer a rear seat to match the front??? I did not see it on their website.

Thanks in advance.

Just a little update!
I went for a ride last evening which lasted about an hour.
The Corbin feels very diferent from the original. It certainly has more support. I feel that there is a more even distribution of weight over all. I don't know if this is just in my head but I do like the leather, seems to "feel better". The seat is a little wider so my feet do not reach the ground as well. On the original I came close to getting all of my foot on the ground, now I have about half on the ground. Comfort? Well it seems comfortable but only some long rides will tell. I don't think I will get the same hot spots like in the past. All in all I like it so far! :D But time will tell.!
Ride Safe!

Can you give us your inseam, height, and weight... if you don't mind. Just trying to see if it is the right seat for me... 5'10" 29" 210lbs... stocky short legs... :D

Thanks!

I'm curious to hear how what you think of it. So go out and ride through 2 tanks straight through and let us know. ;)

I am 5'9" tall. I wear jeans with a 29" inseam so with boots my inseam is probably around 31" or 32". And I weigh around 230 lbs.

As I said the Corbin is a little wider so my reach to the ground is a little more difficult now. Before I could almost flat foot, now I can get a little more than the ball of my feet on the ground. Not a problem but something to keep in mind. Hope this helps.

I rode two hours with the Corbin on tonight, such a different seat from the stocker. I am 6'2, 200lbs with a 34/36 inseam. The seat will spread your legs a bit from the stocker, but the thing you'll notice is how firm it is and how roomy it is. With the Corbin I can touch the ground flat foot when it's on the lowest setting. The seat will not slide you into the tank and there's enough room to shift back a bit if you want to change body positions while riding. Once riding with it I wondered how I ever rode without it. I didn't get the heated seat so installation was a snap. All I did was use the Corbin Saddle Cream. My seat is plain black leather, no stitching. Looks almost stock but feels a world apart. After two hours of riding I could easily hop back on for more. One of the best modification for under $300. I'd buy this seat again in a heart beat.
