Corbin seat - Two thumbs up
So I was outside today dryingmy cage(civic)from it's bath when purolator pulls up the driveway. I sign for it, Take the box and run inside.. Open'er up and wouldn't you know, My Corbin seat was in... I just had to install it and go for a ride... Took about 2 minutes to install (just like stock). I sat on my bike and was pretty surprised how it just hugs my bottom. I also noticed that with the stock seat I was alwayspushed right up against the tank but with the Corbin it wasthe opposite.
I took My bike out for about 60 miles and at first began to worry, Like I said with the stock seat, I was right up against the tank so reaching the clip-ons was quite easy, Now that I was being pushed away, I have to hunch over a bit more to reach them. After a few miles I didn't Even notice the difference in the reach anymore but I sure noticed the difference incomfort. When I got home and jumped off my bike I was really surprised in how well my rear end was still feeling... Seeing as how it's still the start of the season, When I would get off my bike even after short rides I could already feel some numbness but not this time...
The only draw back that I noticed was the clip-on reachfor shorter people mightbe an issue(I'm 6 ft)
But then again it could easily be fixed by moving each your clip-on closer to you half an inch or so.

RE: Corbin seat - Two thumbs up
Corbin does make a rear seat for the f4i. They even make one with a sissy bar attachment. I would love to get one of these for my bike.
