-----------I explained earlier that, since I'm fairly tall, the new Corbin seat forced me too far forward, and my legs were bent too much. My feet were not comfortable on the rider pegs. Today, I took the Corbin seat off---removed the rivets under the back----removed about 3 pounds of foam rubber and fiberglass---and pulled the leather and rivetted it back under the seat. This took the ridge off the back of the seat, and I gained about 3 inches---Now the seat fits much better and looks fine. I've heard of other riders taking foam out to lower the seat, and I'm surprised at how easy it is.

My hat is off to you for having the courage to do something like that to a seat which I m sure you paid a good price for:2thumbs:. I would have found some way to send it back. Does Corbin require your old seat or is this a complete new seat?
