Corbin seats

[skypup]

My dealer called and our corbin seats have arrived. We're getting them installed tomorrow:clap: I was wondering how people like them?

:congrats: We only have about 2500 miles on ours & we both really like them. 100% more comfy than the stock seat. I have also read it takes a long time to break in a Corbin saddle.
Good luck & enjoy.

:congrats: We love our Corbin seats. My inner thighs don't fall asleep anymore and my tailbone doesn't hurt. We've had ours since July 2008.

The Corbin is almost as good an addition as the sway bar.:2thumbs:

Corbin seat for RT

Sure hope there will be someone with a seat for the RT that allows a little more leg room for us taller folks. I'm 6-5 with a 36" inseam and after my test ride, the seat position was my only complaint. Didn't cause me to cancel my order for the RT though.

I like the seat........but I still question why I can ride my 1954 Ford tractor with a metal seat for hours and not ride the bike for hours?

My wife slid around on the back seat -- a pc. of that plastic shelf liner (non-slide stuff) found at Wal*Mart cured that problem. Store in trunk when not needed.

Looking forward to test riding the 2010 models ... need warmer weather

Really like my Corbin seat but I do find myself sliding forward during breaking and decel as others have noted. I think this only happens if you alter your riding position with handlebar risers. I will be doing the same modification that Lamonster detailed in another thread.

What does the sway bar do? My bike feels fine stock.

Was lucky enough to win a Corbin seat. It looks great and sits fine. I personally would not have spent the money on it as neither my wife or I were unhappy with the stock seat.

I've had my Corbin seat for about 6,000 miles and after breaking it in I really enjoy it. My wife likes the passenger seat better than the stock. I think she likes the backrest more but it's wider and more comfortable. The Corbin seats and the ISCI floorboards are perfect for me. I have a 35" inseam and my leg position is great for long rides.

Hope you enjoy it.

Keeps the spyder from rolling over as much in the turns, a must have mod.

I just slide off the seat a little to the inside of the turn like the knee draggers do. Keeps everything nice and planted.hyea:

I was wondering about that mod as well, just hadn't asked.

It took about 1,000 miles to break in my Corbin. It's worth every mile. Also, let me get in a plug for the Evoluzione sway bar. It is a "gotsta have" addition.

Not to hijack the thread, but there has been a coupke exchanges regarding sway bar. Our Spyder was delivered yesterday used with a lot of add ons. There is a stabilizer bar on it, but wasn't mentioned by the previous owner as a modification. Was it standard on some models and not on others??
Although I only have about 25 miles on it, I like the Corbin. But then Corbin has been a long standing seat manufacturer with a good reputation. Whatever happened to Hang 2 seats?? They used to be make some pretty nice saddles and we sold tons of them over the years, don't hear the name anymore.

All Spyders come with a stock swaybar. The most common aftermarket sway bar, in fact, the only one I know of, is the one from Ken at Evoluzione Motorsports. It tames a lot of the inherent body roll without stiffening the ride.

be patient... it will take many miles to really break-in that Corbin.
1k-3k miles is pretty real... It's value should actually rise as it breaks-in.

BTW; I'll be selling mine sometime in 2010 and it may have as much as 100k miles.:roflblack:

Hey Nick, selling your Spyder in 2010 is a RT in your future?

I have been putting Corbin seats on every new bike I get for some time now. I must have purchased 15 or 16 Corbin seats. With the first seat it took about 2,000 miles to break-in my butt. After the initial break-in period it was wonderful.
