Looking at the corbin and sargent seat for 2006 f4i....after a long days ride......" my *** is killing me" anyone had any experience with either? are they worth the $$ thanks

 

Not specifically for THAT bike, but collectively we have one of each. I have a Corbin, Chris has a Sargent. Love, love, love them both. They're both really well made, and SUPER comfy. His Sargent seems to be more heavily padded, but mine has more of a contour to it, so it 'hugs' your hiney, and you feel really secure and "into" the seat.

I rode about 130 miles Saturday, and we both rode about 200 miles Sunday, and neither of us had any sore/stiff hiney goin' on. Both of the seats are top-notch... I think you'd be equally happy with either one. Just see which design you like better, and choose based on that.

 

Just put on the Corbin last week and I can tell you the difference is enormous. No long trips, mostly just little 50 mile trips but a noticeable difference, even on little 15 mile trips there's a difference. I'm quite impressed with the Corbin.

 

Thanks for the input......guess it is worth the extra $$....usually ride for a tank full of gas or more.

 

Corbin seats are they like $600. ?

 

$500. Pricey but comfortable.

how hard or easy was the install?

 

Yes expensive, but worth the money to me.

I have had Corbins on pretty much every sportbike I have had from my old 89 Ninja 1000 to my 01 CBR929 and they do make a great difference.

The install on my 05 F4i was easy, to install the new seat you remove the stock seat and install a small rail with two bolts and snap the Corbin seat into place. I purchased the Smuggler as well and since the rubber stops were new it didn't want to latch until I adjusted the OEM lock and shaved the stops. I also ordered the backrest and trunk, the only issue with that was installing the trunk to the backrest, one of the bolts wasn't long enough so I ran to Ace Hardware and bought a longer 10x24 fine threaded machine screw, no biggie.

Also HERE IS THE LINK to another thread where I posted some pics and all.

If you need any more pics or have any more questions I'm happy to help.

Good luck!

Buy the Corbin. When you plant your fanny in the seat pan, you will know where that $$ went.
