The Corbin has much denser foam. In one photo I set the factory saddle on top of the Corbin to show that it is just a bit wider.
If you have yours cut thinner you need to use denser foam.

Sorry I don't have a better pic. I ordered mine with .75" more driver room (move the rise back), .75" more height, and a "nose job." It's perfect, as far as I can tell.

I strongly recommend the nose job. It slims the seat at the front for easier foot-down, and it's more comfortable IMO...the tank is already so wide there...if I didn't tell you that it was narrower than a regular one you'd never know.

Thanks that is just Sprocks and is real comfy. I don't have a Corbin seat pan. I am taking my seat to a custom seat shop and hope they can make it feel like that. Also make it look like DrThunder's with the red piping.

I have had the chance to ride this weekend with a Corbin seat. So now I have ridden on the stock seat, a Sargent seat, and now a Corbin seat. I will have to tell you that I really like the Corbin seat, very comfy. The Corbin just fit me well. It did lower the seat a little bit. If anyone wants a photo I can post them up tomorrow if you would like to see the difference.

The Sargent seat is a very good upgrade of the stock seat. IMO

Talking My seat

OK Since someone wants to see my seat... and I have not returned these to the rightful owner...


original on the left, Sargent in the middle and Corbin on the right.


just to show the difference in the seat positions



If there is a different angle or a close up of something let me know. No Sprock they are not scratch-n-sniff..

I know he bought the bike with it on there. The can was a different color and his son painted it to look the way it is now.

Dunno about that Indy , yeah he bought it with it on there but I think it's a carbon
type wrap don't look painted to me ...... but I may be mistaken too

Could be right though maybe he painted over the old wrap.

Wonder if Jo will make a comment on it !
