Looks nice, but the cradle doesn't look substantial enough, IMO.

I wouldn't spend 600 clams ('coz you might as well get the one with heat) unless I knew that it would be a big improvement in comfort for me.
If Corbin could give you one for a test drive with a buy-back option... :idea3:
Also, I question their assertion that leather seat is better than vinyl.
For a car, definitely. But for a motorcycle :dry:

If you do I would ask about delivery.

I question that, too. I'm sure it smells nice, but the maintenance requirements on vinyl are, uh... quite a bit less. :happy:

IMHO that thing is an aesthetic downgrade from the OEM, anyway. Oh well.

Looks good, too bad Corbin is such a CRAP company with the worst c/s in the industry! :dry:

Does Sargent make one yet? :blush:

+1 And I have never understood why Corbin is ever chosen to replace anything other than an upholstered concrete slab. Worst seats on the market. And they have no concept of proper conduct with a customer.

OMG $1191 with the back rest and trunk :pissed:

From what I've heard so far about the comfort of the stock seat, an aftermarket saddle isn't really necessary... no? :huh:

And I agree with carlitos92, I don't think it looks nearly as good as the stock item.

Yeah I think I would stick to the stock rather than the Corbin. JMO

I find the stock seat quite good, I've gone full days in the saddle (with a few breaks thrown in of course) and I feel that I could easily do another couple hundred miles. But like all things, one size is never going to fit all. YMMV.

Absolutely, positively no returns for any reason other than a defect, and then only for an exchange.
