Corbin Seat Installed

[tehrlich]

I installed my Corbin seat a couple of weeks ago. I replaced my BRP Comfort seat with the 2" of extra length.

At first I really did NOT like how the Corbin seat felt! I was sliding around, the position seems to be at the stock seat distance, and the slope of the back rim of the seat pushed me forward!

I was ready to put it up for sale because it seemed so much more forward than what I was used to. BUT>>>> I found that the seat is breaking in nicely. I really like the firmness and support. Plus, the vinyl is relaxing enough that I'm not sliding around anymore.

This doesn't change the fact that I'm in a more forward position. Over these last two weeks, I've moved the TriAxis handlebars to accommodate, and NOW I actually like being at the stock position! I find with the combination of the firmer seat along with the position closer to the wheels, that it REALLY turns better! I didn't expect to have a performance upgrade with a new seat.

I honestly bought it because I liked how it looked and the website is awesome to do a custom configuration.

Corbin take about 1K miles to break in.
At least for me on the several I have owned.

I too sold my BRP Comfort seat and purchases a Corbin. I got the LaMonster cut which allows you to sit further back and in to the seat. I road down to Hollister to have my pieces installed. So, the 1200 miles ride back home the seat got broken in. I like the firmer seat.

Good to know about the break-in period. I've put a couple hundred miles on it and can already feel some difference.

The firmer seat is so much nicer, and it isn't "hard." It's just feels normal. I think the BRP seats are too squishy.


I was a little disappointed that the Corbin seat does not use a seat prop, and having to open the gas door to lift the seat is weird. It also doesn't have the slot for the tools.
