Yesterday I had to go to Newnan, GA and return home in the same day.  When I got home I had ridden just shy of 400 miles.  Still have the stock seat and handlebars.  I've put almost 8000 miles on this bike since I bought it in July of last year.  2 things about yesterday's ride are bothersome.  The seat was very uncomfortable, and I had a searing pain in the center of my back between the center point of my shoulder blades just below my neck.  I have never experienced these challenges on this bike before, although I have experienced them on the 02 Ultra.  On the 02 Ultra, I corrected the seat challenge by replacing the seat with a Mustang, and the back pain with a set of Wild Ones Chubbies for FLHT.  Fixed both problems quick, fast, and in a hurry.  So.....I think I know how to fix the back pain part.  As for the seat, I've seen Terry's scoot and read myriad Corbin stories on this forum.  Seems someone (jegomez perhaps) bought a Corbin that didn't have the heat option.  That is the one I'm interested in.......unless Corbin starts making their seat with independent switches for the rider and passenger.  I like the heat........and Renea really likes it........which means I'd have to tolerate it to make her happy.  Anyway, I figure it would be easier just to not have it at all if I can't have a seat with independent switches.  One other concern:  I'm not sure that seat will be anymore comfortable than my stock seat.  I liked the stock seat alot........until yesterday.  I wish Mustang made a matching seat.  I know their seats are comfortable.
Thanks for listening to me b!tch about my scoot.

Bagger,

The Corbin has one switch but uses two elements, so if so desired, you could disable the front heat and still keep the missus toasty.

Just a thought,

You may want to make one change at a time and see if this evaluates your situation
I know of a couple of people that have switched out just the handlebars and wallah back pain gone away....just a thought
In addition I know a few others that switched out the seat first and still had issues so the handlebars were needed
Hmmm...now do I know someone that just switched out the seat and had no further issues...well yeah I do

Good Luck in whatever you do

aaannnnddddd!  I'm the one that switched out the seat and everything was good, and then I swapped out the bars, (since I already had them), and it all went to chit again!!!!
