Gee whiz TC.  I had no idea a Corbin seat cost that much ?  Man, you guys got hosed with those kinds of prices !

Hey Don...hug a sick monkey's butt....

It's like the difference between sitting with a steel rod up your a$$ for 500 miles, and not...

Never tried it. What's it feel like? 

Aren't you exaggerating? Just a little bit? 

I've told you a million times, stop exaggerating.

The question is, will it fit your bike because of the relocation of the ECM, etc.  They do not list a seat yet for an 08 UC.  I would guess that is because the seat pan will have to be redesigned and new molds created.  But when they do one, if you ride two up most of the time, plan on leaving the TP on most of the time, the Dual Tour is the way to go, IMO.

TC,
Thanks for the recommendation.
The ECM will not be the problem, it will be the way the seat mounts.  They switched the tang from the seat to the tank >> backwards from what it was.

Sure would be nice if there was somewhere (store front) that I could look at and touch the seat before I spend my $$$.  Doesn't Corbin have several options on coverings??...different types of leather and/or vinyl.  Any thoughts on what is best &/or most durable?

OK...let me re-phrase...it's like the difference between sitting on the edge of a steel 2x4 for 500 miles, or not...

As long as nothing gets on my saddle  .



Don't let me forget something either.  I owe you beers in Hot Springs for finding that to begin with!

OK, now I get it.

Some people do not have a problem with the stock seat hurting them, but most find they do not care for the stock seat after the bike has a few thousand miles on it, or they have ridden more than 400 miles in a day, whichever comes first.

Well I can relate to the 400 plus days it does get old.  I will definitely have to add the seat to my xmas list.

I had forgotten that I read that about the tang previously.  The ECM does not stick up further from the frame?  Either way, a new pan mold has got to be developed.  When they move the tang, that is a bad tang...  Makes it harder to find the slot...

Come to HS or MV and you can touch, sit all you'd like to on a couple of different bike/seat combinations.  I've got different bars, and the heated Corbin.

I have the black leather/ostrich center pattern, like the stock seat, with roll/tuck stitching.  You have to get some stitch pattern with the heat, as that is how Corbin sews it in.  Not only is the seat more comfortable, it fits/looks better on the bike, IMO>

[Twolanerider]

Yeah, but I bought the black one at full price.....   So it's all in fun.   They were cheaper then though.  Bob, how did the nose job on yours turn out?

See, you could have gotten by with that too, but now that you reminded me, I'll take one...  I always look out for my pals...

That score was definitely worth more than one  .  Will provide a beverage for both you and birthday cake to begin to say thank you .
