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.

It's all such a personal fit thing
I just put an Ultimate Seat on my 2015 RT Limited and I really like it. I don't have the numbness in my tailbone like I had in the factory seat. I've had a variety of Corbins through the years on a number of bikes. Some of them I liked and some I did not. I generally stay away from Corbin now as I think their quality has decreased through the years. You really should consider a Russell (www.day-long.com) seat as well. I've only had one of theirs in my lifetime and it was the best seat I ever had. The only reason I didn't get one for my Spyder is I just didn't want to wait so long for one and I'd never had an Ultimate Seat.
The best to you in your selection.

corbin vs ultimate
tmcquain,
Sorry not a Corbin or Ultimate seat but also take a look at Russell Day Long seats, they are custom built and the best I've ever had. Tried a Corbin, Ultimate and some others- may be good seats, didn't fit me for comfort, but everyone's ass is different though. Had a Russell on three bikes. They will custom build it to fit you and your wife via pictures and your info. You do have to send in your seat though as they use your pan. Look over their website. I've had 3 of theirs and will have one made for my RTS this winter when I'm snowbound. I'll be having them raise the passenger seat on this one also like the other seats I had as my wife likes to look over me and not around me. It sounds like your wife is the same. Also, be aware that the Russell seat will raise you about an inch normally by the time they are done building it.
I do also always put a larger windshield on my bikes as well to keep her in "the bubble" as well as can be expected.She will always trade the wind for the view. Right now she is sitting on about 3" of cushions and say's its great back there as far as wind turbulence and noise and view. [I'm 5-8 and she's 5-2] I put a F4 Customs- XL width and height on it for a shield with vent. I like the shield as well, I sit in a nice little quiet air pocket. I've always looked thru my shields so that is no problem for me. YMMV. Good luck on your choice. Safe riding!
