my aching a**

RE: my aching a**
Corbin was always the first mod I did on a bike. And so it was with my '06 RR. Funny thing though...On this bike I fit better with the stock seat than with the Corbin. The stock "flat" seat allows me to sit all the way back against the rear seat fairing, and easily slide left and right for twisties. I'm tall (6'-1") with a lot of that height in my legs, and the swoopy shape of the Corbin kept sliding me too close to the tank, and with the ridges on the sides of the saddle itwas more difficult to leanproperly.
I sold the Corbin to another member here.
It was a weird learning experience for me...That Corbin is not ALWAYS the solution. Depends on your body type, style of riding, and the bike.
Note...In my Sig pic (below) I still had the Corbin on the bike.

This is not something that I have done, but a sales rep at the dealership I bought my bike at said he had stripped all the factory foam out of his seat and added memory foam from a mattress pad. I can see how it would be a bit more comfortable, but I am not sure how that mod would affect the supportthe seat is supposed to provide.

I owned my Kawi before getting the CBR and when I read threads like these I really laugh out loud. I think that there are alot of really whiny Honda owners out there. The Honda is 5x more comfortablethen the Kawi. and I'm 42. You boughtan RR for chrissakes! Not a cruiser! These are crotch rocket racing bikes!!!

There's no way one bike, stamped out by the thousands, is going to optimally fit every body that wants to ride it. A little mod or tweak here and there to make the ride more enjoyable/comfortable will add to the enjoyment. Fun is what it's all about ("it's a crotch rocket racing bike" after all :-) ).
I noticed you did several mods to your bike. So it's OK to mod for some reasons and not for others?
