Does the Corbin also change the position , in comparison to the stock SERG seat ?
further back ? How much ?
down ? How much ?

Klaus, 

       I think it depends on which Corbin seat you're speaking of.  I have the Corbin Gambler which is narrower than stock and thus feels lower.  It feels about the same front to back but has more back support than stock.  Hope this helps.

I want to know the difference between the solo-seats of each brand .
I am not sure about which one to choose .
 The mustang solo super vintage or the corbin classic solo ( both with backrest and passenger pillon )
Is the function of the corbin backrest ok ?
One wrote about an issue at the adjustable mustang backrest , the knob does not stay fixed , is the corbin better ?

I've wondered too how are we supposed to buy an aftermarket seat?  We are spending a bunch of money on blind faith that it might feel right.  How can we check out how a seat feels in advance?

If it's a seat you're not familiar with or can't check beforehand the short answer is you really don't know.  Even within a manufacturing group they vary.  I've had Corbin "dual tour" saddles on several different bikes.  Three Road Kings, SEEG and SERG.  Some they've been closer than the stock saddle, some higher, some lower, some about the same in some ways but not in others. 

The stock saddles vary themselves from model to model.  So the baseline itself is moving.  Sometimes the aftermarket mftr can tell you specifically.  But they often use seat pans to cover a wider range of models than a shorter term OE production that is made to in some way match a specific model.

Short answer, you don't know for sure until your butt sits in it.

I think that i will modify my signature solo , put in a stiffer foam and real leather around and pushing me more to the rear . And real leather around the backrest , the adjust-knob works good and the passenger pillon is ok for my wife without modifying . When i would order a new seat , a corbin or a mustang then i will have to get a new passenger pillon because the HD won`t fit . Hmmmmm.
