There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Corbin vs Russell?

The corbin does get better with time. Corbin tells you to put 2000 miles on the saddle before making a decision about adjustments and such. I will say that mine is very comfortable.

I have found my Corbin seat very comfortable. It seems as if I can travel farther without the rider fatigue. The seat is new and I only have about 200+ miles on it and am expecting it to get better with more miles. My wife and I are planning a trip on the Oregon Trail this summer and that will place our butts on seats well in excess of the 2000 miles Corbin recommends to break them in for comfort. My wife has complained about sliding forward on her seat but I don't mind.
I thought the Corbin seat was so comfortable that on the cold snowy days that I couldn't ryde, I would just sit on the Spyder in the garage and have a cigar. Life would be better if I could move the Spyder into the house in front of the big screen TV and smoke a cigar inside. That will never happen while I'm married.

Man! I sure am glad that Mustang doesn't make a seat for the Spyder.If you have a stock butt the stock seat feels great.
If you have a Corbin butt the Corbin seat feels great.
If you have a Russell butt the Russell seat feels great.
Bottomlineis what kind of butt do you have? nojoke

I put a Corbin on my Shadow Sabre and it took a month of heavy riding before it was comfortable - it was an improvement from the stock seat but on long rides - my butt would get numb.
I was going to get a Corbin for the Spyder, but, I came to the realization......I have been on several long (300mi+) rides and my butt never hurt......So I have decided to keep the stock seat - that saved $ will soon be spent on other mods.....:f_spider:

Seems like a very personal question there at the end, but I couldn't have put this better if I tried. You silver-tongued devil, you!If you have a stock butt the stock seat feels great.
If you have a Corbin butt the Corbin seat feels great.
If you have a Russell butt the Russell seat feels great.

What about these guys ( http://www.bikesolutionsllc.com/SpyderSeat.htm ) they take your stock seat and modify it by changing the foam and also changing the vinyl , they claim that when it is done it will be night and day difference. I am thinking of giving them a try, the cost is not bad.

I put an AirHawk cushion on the stock seat. Took a little adjusting to get it right but helped me alot. May be a little early for any final grades since I've only ridden it on a hundred miler. No real long distance yet. trying not to spend 6-8 hundred if I can help it.

Hmm wonder how a KW emblem would look on a Spyder"
...or a Freightliner emblem? Truck used for many years to pull RV -- sold and now have Spyder:spyder:
This thread is about seats; so far I think I'll keep the stock seat until my butt tells me different.:bowdown:

So far my Russell has been a great choice. I will tell you more after the Niagara Falls trip and going for a 5 hour trip. I only sat on a new Corbin twice so I really can't compare but for the price we got the Russells and having them made to our specifications, I don't think I would do it any differently. As Lamont stated though, everyone i

As Lamont stated though, everyone is different and you have to really choose for yourself based on your personal likes and comfort.
