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.

I've never sat on a Corbin but I understand they are firm. I had an Ultimate Midrider on a former bike. It was cushy but supportive and I LOVED it. I know it wasn't a Spyder seat, but it was made from the same material. Maybe someone else can tell you more about Corbins. Ride safely, CH

Matter of preference..
Both seem to make great seats. I personally have a Corbin, and both my wife and I just love it. You will hear people say they are firm, and they are, as well as they take about 500 plus miles for them to break in. Once they do you can ryde for days!!
People will tell you you need to sit on them to decide, but sitting is not like ryding in my opinion. Here in central Florida both manufactures will install them on your bike and you can ride for a few hours and get a better idea.
Tough call...both great, both with great features... Either way I think you will be pleased.

Seat choice
Just finished 9 weeks and 12k trip around the country had a ultimate seat installed at Delmarva bikefest. Great addition to the bike. Go all day with no hot spots.. Only problem in Calif. with all the plumbing on their gas pumps could not use the gas fill door. Great gift

Are you tall? If so then do not get the Lamonster cut seat from Corbin. We all had this discussion awhile back and Lamont said the Lamonster cut is a "deeper" seat cut, not good if your tall. I'm 6'4" and have a Tallboy from Ultimate and it really is a nice seat! I have tried the Corbin and could not get use to the hardness of the foam, it must be something about the rider location on the spyder because I had a Corbin on my Wing and loved it. I do really like the fuel door Corbin has but I did not get the door from Ultimate because it looks tacky.

Tough call
I've had both and like both. The Corbin is an attractive seat, you sit down in it typically. Might even be able to get it heated? Presently I'm sitting on the Ultimate. I'm a happy camper, with the backrest and a blue spider stitched on the back... sweet. Can't go wrong. Good luck :dontknow:

It's unfortunate that you are not able to test drive a :spyder2: with one of each. Could happen if you went to a gathering like Spyderfest--there are a lot of the seats out there.
That said, I have had the Corbin on two of my :ani29:'s and have over 50,000 miles on them. The Corbin remains firm and you either like it or don't. I do not have any experience with the Ultimate brand.
For my upcoming :spyder2:, it is my intention to go with the new improved OEM seat, and if that does not work well--then it will be the comfort seat, which I am happy with on our 2011 RT.

I had a Corbin on my BMW RT. It was better than stock, but it was FIRM. I swapped out for a it softer Rick Meyers seat and was more satisfied. I went with the Ultimate when choosing for my Spyder RT because reports from this forum indicated it was a very good seat but NOT as firm as the Corbin. I am VERY pleased with my Ultimate and customer service was first rate! Hope that helps! Good luck!
