I have a Danny Gray Big seat solo with rider back rest and gel inserts on the 09 SERG.

I have a Corbin Classic Solo with Oval back back rest on order for the Skunk I am waiting on.

Dave good choice on the Corbin classic...I tried to fit an 09 classic onto the 12fltrxse
would not fit.  The '12 has the raised ribs on the rear fender
Hopefully Corbin takes that into account.  Really like the Corbin seats
and will be putting one on new blue ('12 fltrxse).

I really am wondering now if Corbin Changed anything for the seat then.  I guess I will know soon enough.

The raised rips on the fender high enough to keep the seat from locking down?

I sure hope they did not steer me wrong, I ordered it in person in the Daytona store during Biketober fest.

i would think the raised ribs would only affect a rear passenger pillion. i took
 my C&C solo from my 11 CVO SG and put it on my 12CVO RGC fit fine. im going to corbin florida  jn a couple of days with my 12 RGC to check out seats. will report back on the fit of the classic solo and i also want to look at the hollywood solo

That is what I was thinking / hoping.  I will not be running a passenger pillion, did not run one on the 09 SERG either.

Stopped at corbin ormond beach today to check out seats. Sergio showed me a classic solo a hollywood solo and a gambler two up. the first hollywood did not seem to fit well around the tank and console area. so he got a different one and it fit nice. then he put a classic solo on and it fit well and looked good on the bike. there were no problems with the raised ribs on the fender. he put a pillon on the back over the fender ribs and it looked like that would also fit but it would be close. was not interested in the pillion so we did not fasten it down.then we tried a gambler. that one also looked and fit the bike nice. comfort wise the classic solo wins with the gambler second its a bit narrower.as far as looks on the bike they all the look good. i wanted to take a day to decide which one to get. if the hollywood was more comfortable i would get that one but it seemed a little stiff. leaning towards the classic solo good looks and feels good with some back support also.hope this helps anyone thinking of putting a corbin on their new bike

Had a Corbin classic solo on 2010, tried something different on the '11 (mistake) and I will be ordering another Corbin over the winter. May not feel like the softest seat out there, but it's great for long distance comfort.

Thanks. 

I am glad to hear the classic solo is not an issue with the raised ribs.  That is what I ordered during Biketoberfest, but did not have the bike to check it on.  Seat is due the same week the bike is due in.  I did not get the pillon, just a rider back rest.  This will be my first Corbin.

I really liked my mustang, on the fatboy, but looks are not as good as corbin or danny gray.

I like the looks of the danny gray big solo seat on my 09 SERG but am hoping the corbin provides more long haul comfort while looking better than the mustang and almost as good as the danny gray.

Only reason I would swap seat is to gain the ability to install a driver backrest... that Close Solo is the one I am looking at... might take time out next weekend to ride over to check them out...would be great if they can do the diamond stitching like the stock seat...

Back to corbin today chose the classic solo mostly because of the feel of this seat compared to the hollywood and gambler seats.there  is much more thigh and lower back support with the classic. this seat is much nicer than the stock one.had about three hours in the saddle with it very nice firm but not hard.I think it looks great on the bike too the fit is perfect no gaps around the tank area. the back of the seat just touches the front of the fender ribs not resting on top of them not an issue. also went with a back rest chose a solid back over the oval back just felt better to me. i am happy with this seat. ;D
