I think it's mainly because to be comfortable on the Corbin, I have to sit way back in the "cup" of it, and that makes my reach to the bars longer, making it more uncomfortable for me.

|  Gotcha. I was thinking it was a butt thing, not a reach thing. And you're right about the reach.

In order for the corbin to be real comfortable you really need to do a ride in and have it made to your liking........aka...........ass! I like the G/L better fit wise than the smuggler but use the storage compartment alot and like the look better with the solo. I had the GL made alittle flatter for 2up riding and the smuggler rounded for transitioning.

I love my new G&L. I was considering making the Buell mod as well as some type of riser, but the difference just going from the stock seat to the Corbin has been amazing. I fit the bird much better now.

I'm kinda long in the legs with a 34 inseam and had corbin raise the seats an inch on both of the saddles. The riding position is much more comfortable for me now. Good enough to ride a good 6-10 hrs and still mow the lawn when I get home!

I bought Porter123's Corbin, Gunfighter and Lady, I miss the 1 inch ride height for leg room. DaveXX01 has the foot peg, one inch lowering modification in fabrication works, for us. I need that one inch back for leg room. I still need to make up my mind, about how much I am going to like this Corbin Seat. I haven't given enough ride time to become adjusted to it yet. This is a hard seat. I might need Heli Bars to adjust the ride bar height also. I do like the lower center of gravity the bike has. Given time and the leg room given back, I would be able to ride more miles on trips. |

Tim, on a "ride in" at Corbin. You actually ride to the plant, they take your order, feed you breakfast, before the seat is completed, you test ride the bike with the new seat and they adjust it to whatever your liking is. Its all done at the Corbin factory. They have one in Hollister, Ca and one in Daytona Beach, Fl. I would imagine a good upholstery shop could do it, but Corbin specializes in motorcycle seats and does it right! They have a lifetime, 1 time adjustment policy and will rebuild the seat to your liking.
