What is the cost on the Corbin? I am kinda a tall fella and the OEM Seat causes me a bit of.....well....male discomfort, seems like the seat slopes up toward the tank a little more than others I have sat on. Does Corbin make a seat for taller folk?
Thanks,
Rick
Rick, If you get the Corbin CVO Ultra Seat with heat, stitching of your choice (required with heat), and solid matching backrest (you can also choose the Oval), all with the Ostrich insert to match your tourpak backrest, expect to pay around $1200. If you can wait until the 24th, just before Bike Week in Daytona, you can probably talk them into a 10% discount, as they routinely offer this during bike week. Call Corbin's 1-800 number, and ask for John at extension 319. He's in Florida, but all the phones are linked, both in California and Florida.
They can modify the seat during manufacturing to accomodate height, to a point. The hole for the backrest is a standard placement, dictated by the seat pan, so there are limits as to how far back they can put you and still make the backrest functional. The backrest is adjustable, but does have limits. Moving you back an inch or so would probably not be a problem. Some of your discomfort is probably coming from the seat foam colapsing on that stock seat and pressing upward in places you don't want it to be because the surrounding area is pressed down. Kind of like sitting on a mountain bike seat...
The Corbin seat is very firm, and takes a couple of thousand miles to conform to your butt, but for me it made a huge difference when covering more than 150 miles or so in a day. I've done 600 mile days with no discomfort, and there is NO WAY I could have done that on the stock seat. The passenger on my bike loves it too. The seat is a bit narrower by about 1", and just "fits" the bike better, IMO.
I sold my stock seat on e-bay, and was happy to see it go.
