I just got my Corbin seat and have put a few miles on it so far (55° a few days ago, snowed today, f'in MI weather)...The craftsmanship of the seat is awesome, and it is very comfortable. The Corbin are much heavier than the stock seat(s) so it may dampen vibrations so your *** doesn't get so numb so quick. It also changed my seating position a bit but not too much. Love it and it's worth the $ IMO.

 

+1 on keeping your stock seat if you plan on doing any riding on twisties. i bought a corbin for my '01 a couple years ago and i only put it on if i'm doin a long ride. i'm goin to deal's gap next week for a few days and i'll put the corbin on for the ride up there but as soon as i get there it's coming off. it's really comfortable and supportive but it's shape doesn't make it easy to move around on, but i'm definitely glad i bought it.

 

No rear "chicken strips" for me with my corbin! Its not a hinderance, you just need to put more effort in moving your butt!
