Just HOW GOOD is a corbin seat.  All you guys seem to have them, I have only ever known the deep bucket sundown seat on my Heritage Springer and my present seat on the SERK

Update on the Arihawk; I spent 7.25 consecutive hours in the saddle today only stopping for gas.  I could have kept on going no problem, the last time I tried to spend that much time on this bike I was squirming all over the last 150 miles attempting to ease the discomfort.  So it was definitely a worthwhile investment.

Airhawk sure has my vote as I bought different seats when I had my RK for my wife still unconformable for her. Then I came across the Airhawk and she loves it.  Then I started using it and I love it so now I am the owner of two.  Another secret I have found out for long rides is Bicycle pants they have a padded butt built in and it don't bunch up like your underwear does..... Hey they work...

Before this corbin, I've only ridden on HD seats with and without the propad and my arse always was sore.

I always thought the corbins felt (by hand) that they wouldn't be soft enough but I really like this seat after I have ridden it.

I'll be able to give you a true evaluation after Nelson this summer -- my trip is going to be about 9k miles.

I've got an estimated 50,000 miles over four years on mine, and can't imagine riding on anything else. How many thumbs up do you have to hear that they are one of the better seats?   :2vrolijk_21:

Apologies for my ignorance but my wife sure likes her comfort and I thought corbin only made saddles for small bums.

Did he really just suggest here in a public forum that his wife has something other than a small bum  :huepfenlol2: ?

Well if he did, and there have been more than enough pics of my super sized bum, he will know that corbin makes a seat that a plus sized women can ride on comfortably.

Hopefully you are only buying the seat once.  Get the one with the heat. 

Wish I had it.

Ideal inflation is about 1/2 inch off the seat.  Here is a link to their directions

   I've got an Air Rider gel pad that my wife bought to use but didn't like it so it's for sale if anyone wants to try one.
