Was thinking of replacing the seat on my F4i, as I intend to do quite a bit of touring, so just wondering if anyone knows what the best one to buy is?
I have heard of corbin and sargent, is there any other makes available and what is the best one to buy for comfort?

 

I've had the corbin since about a month after i got my bike in 2003 and I love it, i think its very comfortable and you can customize it all to match your bike

 

corbin is the only way to go. feels great.

 

Yeah i've got a Corbin seat on my 2001 F4i, and i must say, it feels great. It came with my bike when i bought it, so i tried putting the stock one back one to see the difference. The stock one was harder and it put you more into the tank. The Corbin felt wider and cradles your butt more, which is always good. If you're going to be on the bike for longer periods of time i would reccomend looking into a better seat.

does it just slip on and quick release like the banana seat or do you have to fit brackets?

 

Well if you have a 2001-2003 F4i....it mounts exactly like the stock seat.....it comes with the brackets already on it and you just bolt it down with the 2 stock bolts that held down the stock seat

 

+1 for Corbin!

 

Corbin is it! I have had several on different bikes. I currently have an 05 F4i, just ordered the new Corbin so once it comes in expect a full review with pics. I will keep you posted.

 

i was going to buy one for my 2002 F4i, but i was thinking of upgrading to a 2004-2005 F4i next year, i think the corbin seats are different for both models as I thought I could switch the new seat over, so it would be a waste of money really for just one year, cos they are quite expensive.

 

I had a Corbin on mine and it seemed comfy but I am on 5'7 and the Corbin is really hard on the edges, so when you have to stop and stand still it really gets painful and annoying. I sold it and went back to stock. I am looking for some good gel material to try and fab into the stock seat to sooth my aching a$$!
