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.
Ultimate and Corbin seat FITMENT - not comfort

You have obviously never tried a Daylong, Troop. You get a very supportive seat, tailored specifically to your size and riding position using the base “flimsy” pan, that is all day comfortable. I’m not sure what you are basing your claim on, but quite simply, it is wrong:dontknow:

I could be. I have never had a chance to look at/sit on a Daylong. I'm hoping Seth can make some worthwhile tweaks to my seat. I'm guessing you like your Daylong

Yep, I have loved all 4 previous Daylongs too, Troop. Butt Ugly, but they certainly do the job. For me they have been set up just right from day one, except for one, and Russell paid for the return ship from Australia to redo it. I haven’t tried Seth, mainly because I have sent him several requests via his contacts page and have never received a reply…….I’m surprised his seat hasn’t measured up, as he is ex Daylong. Hopefully he will sort it for you this time around. thumbup:

He NEVER replies to emails. He keeps saying he's going to update his web page to state phone calls only, but he hasn't. International phone calls could (??) be pricey. I like the seat 80% of the time. The other 20% is long days (650+ KM) in the saddle, maybe just my own azz or too much to expect
We'll see ...

Seth responds to texts very quickly. And phone calls after he gets the message if he cannot answer. Email not so much. I just got my seat back from him and it is very comfortable. I had heat added to my F3L and it is perfect. Will know more after break in but so far so good. And it looks great.

Update with a shout out to Rob at Brooks powersports in Grantville Pa. He helped me out with ordering the inserts that were needed to get the floorboards on and I was able to get Pierre's risers assembled and in place. I'll get some better pics outside later when I get a chance.
As far as Corbin goes, I sent a text to the tech I have been in touch with there but haven't had a chance to call. The window you have to call in is so small I have a hard time making it during that time frame as I work in a Medical Marijuana Grow and can't make calls during the day when I am in the grow.
No response to my text and still can't send them any emails as their tech email address is not being maintained. Not happy about this at all but I am going to live with this until hopefully I can find somebody with an ear at Corbin that will fix the issues with the seat. I definitely will keep up with trying to contact somebody there to fix it. But I will definitely not be recommending Corbin to anybody due to these issues.

My 2016 F3-S, which I purchased lightly used, came with a Corbin seat.
The fitment of the seat is not as poor as CloverHillCrawler's, but I can slide a couple of fingers under the front of the saddle where it meets the tank. Dust gets in that spot easily, as does rain -- though neither has been a problem yet, just an annoyance.
If the machine hadn't come with a Corbin, I would have sent off the OEM saddle to be rebuilt by Russell Cycles. I have a Day-Long on my Honda CTX700, and I freaking love it.

OK, I dont feel so bad about that gap now in the front at least. The rest of the gaps seem to be closing up some. When I installed this seat it was pretty cold and with warmer weather the seat seems to be settling into place. I am hoping with the heat of summer that the seat will flex more into a better fitted position.
