Default Corbin seat

Just won a barely used Corbin seat off of ebay for $76.00! Couldn't pass up the price. I'll get some pics up when it comes in and try to give a review of it.

I was going to bid on that, but decided not to since I rarely ride street anymore. It was a hell of a deal... congrats man!

$76.00 a steal...those cost $275 new...give or take.

Bike looks sexy with those Corbin seat...remember to maintain those leather with conditioner...I use lexol for my Corbin seat, leather jacket & gloves...

Got the seat in a couple of days ago and bolted it up. First initial sit.....I didn't like it. I usually sit all the way forwards against the tank and the Corbin is raised there. It caused me to have a little trouble touching the ground and I'm 6 foot. The Corbin's seating position seems to be further back, causing me to reach for the handlebars. Took her out for a group ride last night and I love how sitting on the raised portion lets me see a lot more in traffic/around town. I just feel that the seating position with the Corbin seat is a little further back than it should be. Am I the only one who sits as far forward as possible? I taught myself to put more weight over the tank to attempt to keep the front down when I first got her before I purchased a steering stablizer. Below are some pics of the seat after I got it and with it on the bike. It was used and only had one small spot in the leather but its only on the surface. Over all, I think I like it, I just need to get used to it compared to the stock seat.

Bcuz you were so used to oem seat, therefore will feel arkward at first. Give it a good few hundred miles....you'll be fine. You won't go back to stock. It's more aggressive position and when you flick the bike doing twisties....your **** sticks to the Corbin...great buy!
