You won't regret it, I sold my corbin when I was going to off load my VTEC but changed my mind. I did one long ride back on standard seat before quickly finding another corbin, it made that much difference.

If he's unwilling to ship, let me know. Perhaps I can be of assistance getting it to you...

I sold my corbin when i sold my '04 VFR, and I currently have one on my '99 VFR and my VTX. I was really planning on buying another 6th gen but then this RWB bike came out and I had to get it :)

I think I've maybe owned 7 or 8 corbin seats total, I think they rock

That Smuggler on eBay looks good. I'm assuming it's for 6th gen. since it doesn't say (looks like 6th gen. to me), but $64 for shipping?! I hate when sellers intentionally recoup all selling costs by jacking up shipping prices! eBay isn't supposed to allow that but it happens all the time, esp. from 'pro' sellers w/brick and mortar stores.

Still, it's tempting. No bids yet, wonder what the reserve is.

I'm seriously considering a Corbin or Sargent. I've still got the stock seat on mine and not sure if I wanna upgrade yet. Problem is I'm doing a Blue Ridge Parkway ride in May and don't want to be in pain on the long ride to and from the BRP. I don't want to pay for an after-mkt seat if I don't really need one, but most people say to just do it.

Guess I'll have to do a couple longer rides in early spring to see if my butt can stand being in the stock saddle for longer periods of time. That should help answer my question. Plus I'm planning to take bicycling shorts for extra padding. Not a Corbin or Sargent, but also not nearly as expensive!

I called him before I posted the link here just to be SURE he didn't mean to post 2001 model.

He still had it when I spoke to him. Still happy to help a fellow member of the board...
