I'm 6'2" with a Corbin dual tour on my SERG. I was a little worried about the sides of the seat digging into my fat Arse when I was riding. That is not a problem as I usually have my feet up on the hwy pegs anyway.  I only have 400 miles on the bike since the weather up here is just starting to warm up so we can ride again.  :huepfenjump3:This is my third Corbin and I have loved them all..

Rode the new Big Seat and it seems to fit me perfectly. I do not believe I will require a back rest for this particular saddle. May be differant for the Mustang...

This seat will be my daily rider to and from work bout 30 mi....

Another view.....

Please excuse the lonely road that I have to take to work each day. Little traffic, few to pass.... Sometimes there are so many colors in the sky to the east, early in the morning, that I get confused..     ::)

  Is that your new Clearview shield on there????  What height did you end up getting?

Yes Clearview ... What you see there is the stock height...

But it depends on your saddle, inseam, height, and riding style.

This height shield is right for a 31" inseam and a 5'10" height on a stock seat. If you get a Mustang seat (as delivered it sets you higher) the shield will be too low. The saddles I have modified make this Shield the perfect height for me.

I am looking for a combination of a shield that I can look over the top by 2-3" and provide the riding style I am accustomed too (upright vs leaning forward). Further, I have to have a seat that I can reach the ground flat foot at a stop. All of these issues come into play when selecting a shield.

I reccommend that you select your saddle first, something you can ride for hours on end. Then measure and pick out your shield. I have tried others, but Clearview seems to make the shields that meet my needs time and time again ...

Likely more info than you wanted....  Hope it helps someone save a few needless $, I've spent in the past ...

Have had 4 corbins over the years, wife is on her 2nd soon to be third. we both ride the classic solo. tank to tank, not a problem

I'm with you.  Tried a Sundowner, Mustang, and Corbin.  Hands down the Corbin fits me like a glove.  As others noted, the Mustang moved me forward & up.  At 6'2" I don't need that. 

Here's my heated Corbin Classic Solo with Mother's rack:

I don't see how anyone can even think about keeping a stock H-D seat.  So many choices for comfort and style
