That looks really nice. I may have not gotten the Corbin seat if mine had come with a seat like that. Hard to say though without actually sitting on it. I like the support the Corbin seat gives me. No more inner thighs falling asleep. Let us know how this works for you on a long ride.

Thanks, guys, for the nice comments. The seat was $448.22 installed. Dealer was offering a 20-percent discount with installation.

I thought the MSRP was $429 ?!? .....

It is...but the idea is to get it below MSRP! Most things you buy in a store, take for example, TVs, computers, cars, etc...you'll buy well below MSRP...

$350.00 delivered is a very good price!

What color is the stitching? I like black and the pic looks black. I don't care for contrasting thread colors.

I just heard from Robs Performance in WI. They just got a shipment of seats in and all were damaged. They will be getting a whole new shipment in the middle of next week. And they order in bulk. Speak with Jackie.

I just got through installing my new comfort seat. The install was easy, but the instructions did not take into account if you have a sport rack installed.

You don't have to remove it. I loosened the 4 bolts on the inside and the 1 holding the underside to it. This allowed enough play to get the seat hinge off and on. It helps if someone is there to hold the seat up to reinstall the nut on the very back. It took me a little over any hour with no help until the nut replaced on the hinge. Sorry no pics my daughter has my camera.

Now I'm off to try it out.

I stopped by my dealer today. The BRP demo unit is here showing the Spyder so I talked to a couple of their people. I asked to see the new seat and they insisted that it isn't out yet.(A couple of them didn't even know it was coming out) The local parts manager also said the same. Same thing about the new luggage. I just want you guys that think you have these items that someone is pulling something on you. THEY ARE NOT OUT
Just like my old military days. Some people never get the word.

I am 5'10" with a 31" inseam. I would buy one of the new seats in a minute if I thought it would supprt my tail with the rear portion of the drivers seat.
I am just afraid it's going to be too far back.
Probably have to wait till my dealer gets a Spyder with one on it to try out.

I have put about 225 miles on the new seat. Most of that was today 170 miles. I definitely like it over the stock seat. I'm 5'9" with 30" inseam and with the highway mounted Kury Widow Pegs with stirrups, it was very comfortable ryde today. Gotta go. I heading back out for another excursion, but I plan to stay in my intended lane

I ordered mine on 5/24/09 ($350.00 because of 25% discount). It came in on 6/05/09. Picked up on 6/06/09. My hubby installed it immediately when we got home (about a 200 mile round trip) and then noticed damage to the driver side front tip. It looked like someone had dragged it across the cement and ripped off a small amount of the material. I did check the seat before we took it home but not good enough. It was also damaged on the passenger side tip. Returned it today 06/07/09, so adding another $60.00 for gas, 8 hours of drive time, and 1 1/2 hours to install/re-install, I guess we break even . So much for a good deal. Once again looking forward for the new seat to come in.

Got my seat today, want to say thanks to Bone Crusher for telling me about Mike. $350 shipped next day fed ex. Ordered it Monday and got it today.

Another thing is someone asked about the stiching being black. The part where you sit is black stiching but unless my eyes decieve my the other stiching is white/grey?
